Answer:
In nitrogen molecule, the atoms are
linked by triple bond \[(N\equiv N)\] whereas chlorine atoms are linked to each
other by single bond \[(Cl-Cl)\] in chlorine molecule. Due to very high bond
dissociation enthalpy \[(946\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\,),\] molecular nitrogen is very
little reactive while molecular chlorine is highly reactive because the bond
dissociation enthalpy is very small\[(242.6\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}})\].
