The cyanide ion, CN– and N2 are isoelectronic, but is contrast to CN–, N2 is chemically inert, because of a. low bond energy b. absence of bond polarity c. unsymmetrical electron distribution d. presence of more number of electrons in bonding orbitals

Sol. N2 is a neutral, non-polar, inert molecule while CN– is highly polar, highly active ion.

N2 is non polar(i.e. polarity difference is zero) hence  absence of bond polarity  cause chemically inert n2
