Nitrogen is relatively inactive element because

1. Its atom has a stable electronic configuration
2. It has low atomic radius
3. Its electronegativity is fairly high
4. Dissociation energy of its molecule is fairly high

Correct answer: Dissociation energy of its molecule is fairly high

Solution

Nitrogen is relatively inactive because the N≡N triple bond in its diatomic molecule has a very high bond dissociation energy, making it difficult to break and react.
