Explanation:

Howsoever, some definite amount of O2 and N2 do dissolves in given amount of water at given temperature, because, these gases have pi–electrons which are susceptible to polar environment and this induces some degree of polarity in them, making them slightly soluble in water.

Answer:

It is because both these gases are non-polar , water is a polar solvent and so non-polar species will be insoluble in it!  some  amount of O2 and N2 do dissolves in a given amount of water at a certain temperature, because, these gases have pi–electrons which are susceptible to polar environment and this induces some degree of polarity in them, making them slightly soluble in water.
