In comparison with oxygen gas, a strong triple bond is present between two nitrogen atoms in a molecule and therefore nitrogen gas is:
Correct answer: B. Completely inert like noble gases
- A. Highly reactive gas
- B. Completely inert like noble gases
- C. Very less reactive gas
- D. Moderately reactive gas
Explanation
The strong triple bond in nitrogen molecule makes it extremely difficult to break hence it is inert.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
