Best Answer

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).

It will react -it can be fixed by legumes. It can be converted to ammonia in the Haber process etc. Overall, it is considered a non-reactive element.

Why helium is called as inert gas?

non-reactive with other substances. The term inert means non-reactive. We refer to gases as being chemically inert if their atoms don't combine with other atoms in chemical reactions.
