The two N atoms in N2 are bonded to each other by very strong triple covalent bonds. The bond dissociation energy of this bond is very high. As a result, N2 is less reactive at room temperature.

Due to the presence of triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms, the bond dissociation energy of N2 (941.4 kJ mol-) is very high. Therefore, N2 is less reactive at room temperature.
