In a nitrogen molecule, there exists a triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms.This triple bond is constituted of one sigma and two pi bonds.
px-px overlap (sigma)
py-py overlap & pz-pz -overlap (2 pi bonds).
The intermolecular forces in this are weak Van der Walls forces. So, the diatomic molecules exist freely.Because of the triple bond,the bond energy is very high.The bond dissociation energy of nitrogen is 945.4 kJ/mol.Due to this high bond dissociation energy, nitrogen is apparently inactive under normal conditions.This is why nitrogen is considered as non reactive gas.

Pls mark as brainliest.
