Nitrogen is 2,5

Therefore it needs 3 electrons.

Therefore it makes a triple bond to share 3 and get a stable 2,8 configuration.

Have a go at Carbon Sulfide - pay attention to valence electrons.

Carbon Disulfide. Its covalent, remember

But what ATAR said is essentially correct, look at valence electrons.
