It is determined by whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules do not absorb radiation in the microwave region; therefore, they are microwave inactive. Polar molecules are microwave active.
There is no such thing as active/inactive air.
Active means it is errupting. Inactive means it is NOT errupting. Prety simple.
what are the examples of inactive and active volcanoes?
I don't think it is. Microwave energy levels correspond to rotational modes, and for rotational spectroscopy, a molecule has to have a dipole moment... homonuclear diatomics like Br2 don't, and thus do not exhibit a pure rotational spectrum.
In order for a molecule to be IR active, the vibration must produce an oscillating dipole. This usually means that the bond (or bonds) in question have are polar to begin with so that they have a dipole. Therefore symmetrical molecules like O2 and N2 are not IR active, but molecules like H2O with polar bonds are IR active.
Is nickel active or inactive
yes you can get active and inactive earthquakes zones.

Active
Not active.
inactive
inactive

The opposite or antonym of inactive is active. Some synonyms for active (and thus, antonyms for inactive) are lively, live, brisk, energetic, and operative.
