Why nitrogen gas is inert at a room temperature?
Accepted Answer
Nitrogen gas is chemically inert at room temperature because of the strong triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms in the N2 molecule. This triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds, resulting in a very stable and unreactive molecule. Breaking the triple bond requires a lot of energy, making nitrogen gas unreactive at room temperature.
