Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outer-most shell allowing it to form mostly trivalent compounds. This also allows two Nitrogen atoms to form a triple bond forming one of the strongest bonds in chemisty.

Why does nitrogen burn magnesium?
While nitrogen is usually fairly inert, magnesium is so reactive that even nitrogen can react with it.
Is liquid nitrogen combustable?
No, nitrogen, whether solid, liquid, or gas, is relatively inert.
Is when it remains unchanged in the presence of nitrogen chemical or physical?
When something remains unchanged in the presence of nitrogen is it a physical change?
What happens if you mix nitrogen with argon?
Nothing happens. Argon is inert.
Can nitrogen react to gas?
nitrogen is one of the inert gases not completely inert like He;Ne... hence nitrogen remains stable to most of the gases. however in case of extreme conditions like high temperature or pressure, catalyst presence it may react.
Why does nitrogen burn magnesium?
While nitrogen is usually fairly inert, magnesium is so reactive that even nitrogen can react with it.
Can nitrogen start fires?
No. Nitrogen is relatively inert.
Why do animals not obtain nitrogen from the air?
Nitrogen gas is fairly inert and so is difficult for organisms to process. Instead, animals must get usable nitrogen compounds from their food.
What happens if you replace inert gas in glass bulb of electric lamb by nitrogen gas?
inert gas inert gas inert gas
What are the three inert elements of the periodic table?
Gold is an inert metal, Helium, Argon, and the other nobel gases are inert. Nitrogen gas (N2) is considered inert for most purposes, though nitrogen is found in a lot of compound.
Why N2 is inert gas?
Nitrogen is an unreactive gas, easy to obtain and at reasonable cost. It is not used as an inert gas, but in lieu of an inert gas, of which there are only 6, it is sufficient and cost effective.
What is a sentence with the word inert?
Nitrogen is an inert gas; it is non-reactive in chemical situations.
Is nitrogen an inert element as compare to other element of this group?
Yes. it is relatively inert.
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 the Inert gas found in atmosphere?
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is an . gas?
Nitrogen is an Inert gas, but can be found in other states of matter.
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
