Question

Why nitrogen is chemically inert at room temperature?

Answer 1

Nitrogen is present as N2 or dinitrogen. The two atoms of nitrogen are attached by a triple bond between them which is very strong.

To break such a strong energy bond tremendous energy is needed which is not available in inert conditions.

That is why nitrogen is inert in room temperature.

I hope this helps u!

Answer 2

Answer:

There is triple bond between two nitrogen atom in N2 molecule.It needs a large amount of energy to break a triple bond. Therefore N2 is inert or not reactive at room temperature.
