Heya !!!
♤As these are alkali metals .
♤As nitrogen is expecctionaly stable it cannot react with these alkali metals in normal conditions .
♤These alkali metals react with oxygen but not with hydrogen in the air but a layer of oxide forms very quickly which slows the reaction in low rate .
♤As sometimes you can see these metals are often kept in CONTAINERS as it's highly reactive with air .
hope it helps u dear ^_^

Thakshayini:
Then how Li reacts with nitrogen to form.....Li3N
it is the only alkali metal which reacts with nitrogen in room temperature
when it reacts with nitrogen it forms lithium nitride
which is a stable metal
