Answer:

I think this Is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

nitrogen is an element of atomic number 7 and so has 5 electrons in its valence shells. it requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet.nitrogen shares an electron with 3 atoms of hydrogen each to achieve this. hydrogen being an element with atomic number 1 requires 1 more electron to reach the electronic configuration of its nearest noble gas, helium. so it shares an electron with nitrogen
