Q. Nitrogen is inert because of

The p-Block Elements - Part2

Solution:

Nitrogen is inert because its p-subshell is half-filled due to which it has maximum exchange energy. Thus it exists in stable form as inert gas and triple bond $(N \equiv N). N_2$ molecules is very stable and its dissociation energy is $225 \,k \,cal/mol$.
