What is true about CN^- and N_2 ?

N_(2), CO, CN^(-) and NO^(+) are isoelectronic but the former is chemically inert and latter three are very reactive, why ?

STATEMENT-1: CO is stronger ligand than CN^(-) STATEMENT-2: CO and CN^(-) both show synergic bonding with metal . STATEMENT-3: CO and N_(2) are isoelectronic ligands but N_(2) is a weaker ligand than CO but stronger than NH_(3) .
