Normally only 20% oxygen in air can react e.g. burning, corrosion, or other oxidative reactions.

The other 80% is nitrogen and traces of carbon dioxide (<1%) and some others are more or less inert.

Nitrogen gas (N2) is the most abundant component of Earth's atmosphere and is generally considered inert because it tends to be unreactive under normal conditions.
