3 covalent and 1 co ordinate is possible, it is not possible that it can form 4 covalent.

Valency of N is 3. Then how will share 4?

This question have more than one correct answer. Commonly 3 is right answer but when you give big exam as iit, ias etc. Then 4 is correct answer due to =N+=.

Because Nitrogen can expands its p electron in vacant d-orbit.

Nitrogen shows maximum 3-5 co valency so maximum 4.

N can form 3 covalent bond, e.g. NH3 and 1 co-ordinate covalent bond e.g. NH4+, which is a type of covalent bond. So the answer is D.

N can form only 3 covalent bonds and the 4th bond that it forms is the co-ordinate covalent bond not covalent. So the right answer is 3.
