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).


Are inert gases and royal gases the same?

'Royal gas' is not a term used in chemistry. Perhaps you mean "noble gas", if so yes "inert gas" and "noble gas" often mean the same thing. However, oxides and fluorides of some of the "noble gasses " do exist, it might be best to think of them as "noble" rather than "inert". Xe, forms oxides.


Are centrifugal force and Reactive Centrifugal force the same thing?

Reactive centrifugal force is not the same thing as centrifugal force. Reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force. It is the reaction force reacting to a centripetal force.


Is boron inert?

Boron is not generally considered inert, as it can react with certain substances to form compounds. However, boron is less reactive than other elements in the same group, such as carbon and nitrogen.


What are the similarities and differences between the halogen family and the inert gases?

Similarities: Both halogens and inert gases are part of the same group in the periodic table (Group 18). They are both stable elements with full valence electron shells. Differences: Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form compounds with other elements, while inert gases are extremely unreactive due to their stable electron configurations and rarely form compounds. Halogens are found in nature in various compounds, while inert gases are typically found in their pure form.
