N2, CO, C...

Question

$N_{2}$ , $C O$ , $C N^{-}$ and $N O^{+}$ are isoelectronic but the former is chemically inert and later three are very reactive, why?

Solution

The triple bond is pretty strong. Therefore, it needs a lot of energy to break those bonds and participate in a reaction. So nitrogen is commonly used as an inert gas
