In the molecule N2, there is a triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms. A triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. Each covalent bond, whether sigma or pi, is formed by the sharing of two electrons.
Therefore, in the triple bond present in N2, the sigma bond involves two electrons, and each of the two pi bonds involves two electrons each.
Hence, the total number of electrons being shared in the triple bond of N2 is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 electrons.
