nitrogen will react with things.
plants use it.
high combustion temperatures will react it.
so, its not inert,
but if your storing seeds in nitrogen,
its not going to react with them.
so its not that reactive,
I would say its mostly in the middle.

The gas is relatively inert, which is a GOOD Thing for us, otherwise we would burn in the atmosphere.

Nitrogen is a common normally colourless, odourless, tasteless and mostly diatomic non-metal gas. It has five electrons in its outer shell, so it is trivalent in most compounds.
yes, is reactive
