Dear student 
Labile complexes means it can remove the ligand and substitute with other ligand easily. While inert complexes are thosecomplexes which can't remove ligands easily. Strong electrostatic force of attraction between metal and ligand makes the complex inert.
Transition metal complexes which undergo rapid substitution of one ligand for another are labile, whereas complexes in which substitution proceed slowly or not at all are inert.
For an inert complex, it is a large activation energy which prevents ligand substitution..
Lablie means a relatively stable but reactive species whereas ineart means unreactive.A compound in which metal-ligand bonds are easily broken is referred to as "labile."
Strong electrostatic force of attraction between metal and ligand makes the complex inert.
