@Jack Lupino – Nitrogen is in 5 group but doesn't have 5 covalency.

@Jack Lupino – Since there are no vacant orbitals in the second energy (quantum) layer, the nitrogen atom can not decouple the 2s2

@Hasmik Garyaka – N = 1s2 2s2 2p3 Then covalency would be 3 only to remove only from 2p orbitals. Why not?
