Question
Why nitrogen gas is chemically inert?
✓
Answer
The chemically inert character of nitrogen is largely due to high bonding energy of the molecules $225 cal mol ^{-}$ ${ }^1$. Interestingly the triply bonded species is notable for its less reactivity in comparison with other iso-electronic triply bonded systems such as $- C \equiv C - C \equiv Q , X - C \equiv N$, etc.
