Why nitrogen is highly reactive?

1.	Why nitrogen is highly reactive?
Answer» Nitrogen is low reactive. If it is highly reactive than our ozone layer would be completely depleted<br>Due to small size and more electronegative character of nitrogen, there is p(pi) - p(pi) interaction between the two atoms and all the electrons in the valance shell are involved in the triple bond. Due to this strong triple bond formation, bond enthalpy of nitrogen is very high. Thus, Nitrogen gas has low reactivity.<br>It has triple bond to form N2 so if it was reactive then it could react with other gases and depleted our ozone layer.
