The reason why nitrogen gas is inert at room temperature is because the triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms in each nitrogen molecule (N2) is very strong, and therefore it takes a lot of energy to break that bond, and until that bond is broken, the nitrogen cannot react with any other chemical.

What is xenon at room temperature?
Xenon is an inert gas. Like all the inert gases, it is a gas at room temperature.
Is nitrogen gas liquid or solid?
Nitrogen at room temperature (i.e. it's normal state) is a gas.
Is nitrogen gas room temperature?
Yes
What is the lightest inert?
Helium is the lightest inert gas. It is a monatomic gas with an average atomic weight of about 4. The only atom lighter than that is hydrogen - which forms a diatomic gas with molecular wight of about 2 - BUT - it is anything but inert! Hydrogen is highly flammable and a commonly used reactant for a lot of syntheses. The next lightest gas that is sort of inert is nitrogen - which is quite a bit heavier - at a molecular weight of about 14. (Nitrogen is not particularly reactive at room temperature so it is often used as an "inert" gas - even though it isn't really totally inert.) The next lightest noble gas is Neon - which, although it forms a monatomic gas, has an atomic wight of about 20 - even heavier than Nitrogen.
What is the state in room temperature for nitrogen monoxide?
Gas.
What is xenon at room temperature?
Xenon is an inert gas. Like all the inert gases, it is a gas at room temperature.
What is nitrogen at room temp?
Nitrogen is a gas under room temperature. It is in fact the most abundant gas in ourr atmosphere. Nitrogen can also be in the form of liquid nitrogen which can be used to make ice cream and create smoke for culinary decoration.
What is the state of nitrogen at room temperature?
Nitrogen is a gas at room temperature. It makes up almost 80% of the air we breathe.
Is Nitrogen is a solid at room temperature and pressure?
Liquid nitrogen can be kept at room temperature at sufficient pressure. Otherwise, it is a gas.
Is polonium an inert gas?
No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
Phase at room temperature of nitrogen?
Gas. At least for ambient conditions normally found on earth.
Is nitrogen a solid?
Nitrogen can be obtained as a solid at very low temperature, under -210 0C. At room temperature nitrogen is a gas.
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.
Is nitrogen gas liquid or solid?
Nitrogen at room temperature (i.e. it's normal state) is a gas.
Is argon a gas a room temp?
Argon is an element that is a gas at room temperature. It can be found in incandescent light bulbs because it is inert.
Is nitrogen gas room temperature?
Yes
What happens if you replace inert gas in glass bulb of electric lamb by nitrogen gas?
