Question

What causes nitrogen to be chemically inert ?

Answer 1

Due to the presence of triple bond having very high bond dissociation energy. Therefore nitrogen molecules is inert having a low activity.

hope this answer clear your doubts

Answer 2

$N_{2}$ is chemically inert due to the high bond energy of the N=N molecule.

About Nitrogen:

• The chemical element nitrogen has the symbol N and the atomic number 7.
• Nitrogen is a nonmetal and the lightest member of the periodic table's group 15, often known as the pnictogens.
• It is a common element in the cosmos, with the Milky Way and the Solar System having the fifth-highest overall abundance.
