why is N2 considered unreactive during explosion. ??

won't it form NO2 or NO or N2O

 

PLZ EXPLAIN

rates assured

i think we can translate the question equally into this:

Why is N2 inert?

 

The answer lies in the fact that N2 has a high disassociation energy of the triple bond and is hence inert. We could also explain it by the fact that N2 has a high bond order of 3 and hence is highly stable and hence doesnt want to form compounds which have a lower bond order
