Why is N2 less reactive at room temperature?
Answers

Dinitrogen N2 is formed by sharing three electron pairs between two nitrogen atoms. Triple bond is formed by the two nitrogen atoms. ... As a result the energy of the bond dissociation is very high at room temperature (946Kj / mol). This reason leads to the fact that N2 is very less reactive at room temperature.

Explanation:
The strength of N2 triple bond makes the molecule very unreactive because it requires a large amount of energy to break the bond. Nitrogen does not react readily as its bonds are strong making it stable
