Solution

If the element shows the valency of 1 then it is knowns as monovalent.
If the element shows the valency of 2 then it is knowns as bivalent.
If the element shows the valency of 3 then it is knowns as trivalent.
In compound AlN (Aluminum nitride), Aluminum and Nitrogen both show the valency of 3.
Therefore, Nitrogen is trivalent in AlN.
