nitrogen gas is formed when two nitrogen atoms bond together...thus resulting in atriple bond between the nitrogen atoms. these triple bonds together have a very high bond enthalpy(energy needed to break bonds). so the energy needed to break the bonds is very high. since chemical reactions occur on the basis that bonds need to be broken for new bonds to form....the nitrogen molecule does not react readily under normal circumstances. it was once considered an inert gas before the discovery of the Born-Haber process...as a result of its natural "unreactivity". hence a lot of energy has to be given to the nitrogen molecules for them to dissociate and become atoms .. so that they can react- the central idea behind the Born-haber process.

What else can I help you with?
Which is more active neon or nitrogen?
nitrogen is more reactive. neon has completely filled orbitals and is hence stable and unreactive.
Why is nitrogen reactivate at room temperature?
Nitrogen is a diatomic gas at room temperature. These nitrogen atoms are bond by a triple bond. It needs more energy to break this bond. So nitrogen is less reactive.
What are the differences between atmospheric nitrogen and laboratory nitrogen?
Chemical nitrogen 1 it is pure as it does not have any inert gases. 2 it is lighter compared to atmospheric nitrogen. 3 it is highly reactive. Atmospheric nitrogen 1 it has 1% inert gases. 2 it is heavier than chemical nitrogen due to the dust particles. 3 it is less reactive because of the inert gases.
What does NCl3 stand for?
nitrogen chloride. However the formula should be NCl3
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).
Why is'nt nitrogen reactive?
Nitrogen is reactive. But not very reactive because of the amount of electrons it has.
How do you know that nitrogen is reactive?
no it is not reactive
Is a nitrogen reactive or stable?
Nitrogen is reactive because it does not have 8 valence electrons.
Is nitrogen highly reactive?
Nitrogen is not highly reactive under normal conditions. It is a relatively inert gas, making up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere in the form of diatomic nitrogen (N2). It typically requires high temperatures or pressures to react with other elements.
Is nitrogen more reactive than arsenic?
No, arsenic is more reactive than nitrogen. Arsenic belongs to Group 15 elements in the periodic table which are more reactive compared to nitrogen, which is a relatively inert gas.
How is nitrogen made reactive?
balls
Why do you say nitrogen is not reactive if inert gases are not reactive?
Nitrogen Is Uncreative beacuase of the triple bond between 2 nitrogen atom,which have a bond enthalpy of 945kjmol-1,and this result for a fewer reactions of nitrogen.
Is nitrogen more reactive than oxygen?
No, oxygen is more reactive than nitrogen. Oxygen readily forms compounds with other elements, while nitrogen is relatively inert under most conditions.
Is the element nitrogen 7 reactive or stable periodic table?
Nitrogen has two stable and naturally occurring nuclides, [N14, N15] and a half-dozen of unstable ones.
Are the nitrogen family as reactive as the carbon family?
.
Why plants and animals unable to absorb nitrogen directly for atmosphere?
Nitrogen is not very reactive
Why an atom of nitrogen it is not reactive in ordinary condition?
Is the healthy
