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).
What does inert mean in chemistry?
'Inert' means that an element or compound does not (easily) react with some other material: Gold (Au), Nitrogen (N2), diamond (C), sand (SiO2) are examples.
Is nitrogen a noble gas?
No. It is fairly inert, but it is not noble. The noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon which are in group 18 of the periodic table of elements.
What are the differences between atmospheric nitrogen and laboratory nitrogen?
Chemical nitrogen 1 it is pure as it does not have any inert gases. 2 it is lighter compared to atmospheric nitrogen. 3 it is highly reactive. Atmospheric nitrogen 1 it has 1% inert gases. 2 it is heavier than chemical nitrogen due to the dust particles. 3 it is less reactive because of the inert gases.
What is nitrogen sulphate?
This is a non-existent chemical. There are no nitrogen sulphates, either synthetic or naturally occurring. This is further verified by the 2014 Combined Chemical Dictionary which does not list it.

What group is the element argon in?
The Noble(Inert) Gases.
Is carbon active or inert?
Carbon is an active element in Group 14. There are only a handful of elements that are inert, and they are located in Group 18.
What is nitrogen and?
Nitrogen is a common nonmetallic element that is normally a colorless, odorless, tasteless inert diatomic gas. Sulfur is an abundant tasteless odorless multivalent nonmetallic element.
What is the best element known of the inert gases?
the last group or the 18th group of the table the helium group known as noble gases are known as inert gases
Is liquid nitrogen poisonous?
Nitrogen is an inert element so it is not poisonous, However Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold and should you some how manage to drink a sizable amount of it it would kill you.
What does inert in mean?
'Inert' means that an element or compound does not (easily) react with some other material: Gold (Au), Nitrogen (N2), diamond (C), sand (SiO2) are examples.
Why is xenon located where it is on the periodic table?
Xenon is an inert element. It is placed in group-18.
What does inert mean in chemistry?

How many elements are inert gases?
Six noble gases (group 18), and Nitrogen (N2) gas are all inert. They are all different elements, so: 7
What kind of element is air?
Air is not an element. It is a mixture of gases. It's principal components are are nitrogen (~79%), oxygen (~21%), carbon dioxide (<0.1%) and argon.
Can nitrogen start fires?
No. Nitrogen is relatively inert.
