Does inert mean the same as reactive?

What is the element said to be non reactive or inert?

The inert or noble gases are on the far side of the periodic table in group 18. Nitrogen is not a noble gas nor in that group. You give three choices, inert, nonreactive, and reactive. Essentially, "inert" and "nonreactive" are the same thing. Even if you didn't know the answer to this question on a test, you can automatically eliminate these choices since they are the same answer, and they both can't be correct (assuming this is multiple choice). So that leaves you with reactive, which nitrogen actually is. Most commonly, nitrogen will just react with another atom of nitrogen (triple bonded in case you're interested).

Are inert gases and royal gases the same?

'Royal gas' is not a term used in chemistry. Perhaps you mean "noble gas", if so yes "inert gas" and "noble gas" often mean the same thing. However, oxides and fluorides of some of the "noble gasses " do exist, it might be best to think of them as "noble" rather than "inert". Xe, forms oxides.
