Nitrogen atom has a valence electrons of 5 electrons. A full octet or full valence electrons shell is composed of 8 electrons. Hence, an additional of 4 electrons are needed for it to become full. this is achieved by covalent bonding where electrons are shared or ionic bonding where electrons are transferred.
