    How many single bonds does n2 have?

    three

    A nitrogen atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell. Two nitrogen atoms will each share three electrons to form three covalent bonds and make a nitrogen molecule (N2). By sharing the six electrons where the shells touch each nitrogen atom can count 8 electrons in its outer shell.

    Double:

    three
