The bonds between two atoms of nitrogen (78% of the atmosphere) in the N2 molecule make it inert for many purposes. However under high heat (lightning for example) it reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen compounds.

Argon at 1% of the atmosphere is a noble gas and is inert under all atmospheric conditions.

Is radon the most inert gas in the atmoshere?

Radon is not the most inert gas in the atmosphere. Radon is a radioactive gas and is chemically inert, but it is relatively rare in the atmosphere compared to the noble gases like helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon, which are considered the most inert due to their stable electron configurations.
