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.

How does nitrogen stop crisps going off?

Nitrogen i an unreactive gas. <><><><><> Nitrogen is not a noble gas so it is not non-reactive


Which nitrogen containing substance is generally unreactive?

Nitrogen gas (N2) is generally unreactive due to its triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms, which requires significant energy to break. This makes nitrogen gas stable and unreactive under normal conditions.


Which unreactive gas is used to make fertilizers?

Nitrogen.


How oxygen and nitrogen can be extracted Also include their uses?

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.


What is the most unreactive element besides the noble gases?

N2, nitrogen is about 78% in air but does not take part in several reactions as oxygen does so we can say that after noble gases Nitrogen is the least reactive gas or element.


How does nitrogen gas react with magnesium?

Nitrogen gas does not react with magnesium under normal conditions. Magnesium is relatively unreactive with nitrogen at room temperature due to the strong triple bond in N2. Heating magnesium to high temperatures in the presence of nitrogen gas can form magnesium nitride (Mg3N2).


Nitrogen gas is inactive gas.why?

Nitrogen gas is chemically stable and unreactive because it has a fully filled valence shell of electrons (eight electrons). This makes it very difficult for nitrogen to gain or lose electrons to form chemical bonds with other elements.


Is nitrogen a part of the noble gas family?

No. It is however highly unreactive, similar to noble gases (except under extreme conditions)


What is the important gas in nitrogen?

Nitrogen is a pure gas and so is the important one.


Inert abundant gas in the atmosphere?

Nitrogen is the most abundant inert gas in Earth's atmosphere, making up about 78% of the air we breathe. Nitrogen is chemically unreactive under normal atmospheric conditions and plays a crucial role in maintaining atmospheric pressure and balance.


Would you expect nitrogen and argon to have similar chemical properties?

No, nitrogen and argon have different chemical properties. Nitrogen is a reactive diatomic nonmetal, while argon is a noble gas known for its inertness. Nitrogen tends to form compounds, while argon is largely unreactive.


What s the gas that inflates the airbag?

Primarily compressed nitrogen as it is unreactive. Nitroguanidine (also used as insecticide and to start high energy reactions) is sometimes used.
