Firstly, N2 is treated sometimes as an inert gas as it is used to create an inert atmosphere so that no reactions take place. But nitrogen has many compounds as it is more chemically reactive than helium or any other inert gases. Its compounds: e.g. Ammonia, Nitric Acid etc. More on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

∙ 11y agoIn N2 molecule, there is a strong triple bond between two nitrogens. Since a large amount of energy is required to break this triple bond, the reactivity if N2 molecule is generally less and generally requires high temperature for the reaction to occur.

Is chromuim reactivity chemical properties?
Reactivity is a chemical property.
What are the properties of reactivity?
Reactivity refers to how vigorously an atom is to react with other substances.
What is a chemical property length color reactivity mass?
Reactivity is a chemical property.
Do molecular elements exist in nature?
Yes, The elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are all molecular elements that exist in nature. Due to their reactivity, it is rare to find the halogens and phosphorus in their elemental forms in nature.
Is nitrogen and oxygen noble gases?
The term noble is old and today inadequate.The so-called noble gases have the outer electron shell full, with 8 electrons; this structure lead to a very low chemical reactivity but now they are not all considered as inert elements.Compounds have been made with Krypton, Xenon and Radon. None have yet been made for Argon, Neon or Helium.
What is the reactivity in nitrogen?
its not.
Does the nitrogen group have high reactivity?
no
Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has?
high reactivity
Why the nitrogen is used in tires?
Its used because it has low reactivity, remains a gas at most temperatures and retains the pressure
What might happen if you combine water and nitrogen?
If Nitrogen would have properties like Fluorine(and higher reactivity than Oxygen), it could have displaced Oxygen from Water to form a compound Hydrogen Nitride
Is it true that nitrogen is a more reactive element than oxygen?
False, if we look at the general trend of reactivity of the non-metallic elements on the periodic table we see that reactivity is indirectly proportionate to an elements size. A Oxygen is a smaller atom than Nitrogen therefore more reactive.
Why is nitrogen found in the atmosphere?
A Nitrogen molecule has a triple bond.So high amount of energy is needed to break down this bond.Bond dissociates naturally in occasions like lightning.So Nitrogen's reactivity is very low.Nitrogen has a little bit high molecular mass.So it has a high escape velocity.As a result of those Nitrogen remains in atmosphere in huge amount.
What is gold's reactivity?
golds reactivity is very low in the reactivity series ....
Is the reactivity of an alloy very different from the reactivity of its major component?
Is the reactivity of an alloy very different from the reactivity of its major component?"
What metal is more reactive copper or aluminum?
Aluminium. This is because aluminum is "higher" than carbon in the reactivity series. You may wish to refer to the reactivity series if you need to compare the relative reactivities of other metals.
