Dear Student,
@ nikitta, Meritexpert,
Good answer! Keep it up!
@ Akshita97,
Very good answer! The compound in which, valency of nitrogen is 3, is cyclohexanone oxime.
Here nitrogen forms three bonds, so valency of nitrogen in this compound is 3.
Structure of N-methyl-1-phenylmethanimine oxide is
In this compound, nitrogen makes 5 bonds with surrounding atoms, so its valency is 5.
