It is unreactive because diatomic nitrogen is bonded by a triple bond. This triple bond takes so much energy to break, that it does not likely naturally react with other substances
There are very strong triple covalent bonds between the two nitrogen atoms in diatomic N2 gas. Large amount of energy is needed to overcome this bond, thus nitrogen is fairly inert and unreactive.
Yes, nitrogen is diatomic.
Not a lot! Sodium is a reactive metal, nitrogen is an unreactive diatomic gas. Sodium forms compounds where it loses an electron, to form the Na+ ion. Nitrogen forms covalent compounds such as NH3 and ionic compounds where it gains three electrons to form the N3- ion.
No; it is diatomic.
Nitrogen is found in the atmosphere as diatomic elemental nitrogen, N2.

Nitrogen gas is diatomic.
Oxygen is more electronegative and so a better electron acceptor. Nitrogen as a gas is a triple bonded diatomic molecule and very unreactive this way.

Yes, nitrogen is diatomic.
Nitrogen monoxide is a diatomic gas at standard temperature and pressure.
Not a lot! Sodium is a reactive metal, nitrogen is an unreactive diatomic gas. Sodium forms compounds where it loses an electron, to form the Na+ ion. Nitrogen forms covalent compounds such as NH3 and ionic compounds where it gains three electrons to form the N3- ion.
The molecule of nitrogen contain two atoms, is diatomic.
Air is diatomic because it is a mixture of inert gases like nitrogen which is also diatomic.
yup. nitrogen gas-- N2
yes
No; it is diatomic.
