Nitrogen is a non-metal and when non-metals bond with each other, they from covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are bonds where electrons are shared. not only is Nitrogen a covalent bond, but it forms a triple bond due to the valence electrons attraction.
When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.
Another name for a dative covalent bond is 'coordinate covalent bond'.
