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.

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.

Yes, nitrogen is inert in the atmosphere, meaning it is stable and does not react with other elements under normal conditions.


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 happens if you replace inert gas in glass bulb of electric lamb by nitrogen gas?

If nitrogen gas is used instead of an inert gas in the glass bulb of an electric lamp, the nitrogen gas can react with the filament material and cause it to deteriorate faster due to oxidation. This can result in a shorter lifespan for the electric lamp. Additionally, there might be a risk of fire or explosion due to the presence of oxygen in the nitrogen gas.
