2. Element Symbol= Ar Atomic Number= 18 Atomic Mass= 39.9
Group on Periodic table= Non-metals

3. History
Argon was discovered in 1894 by Sir William Ramsay, who was an English chemist.
Argon also makes up 93% of the earths atmosphere.
Argon is from the greek word “argos” meaning “inactive”.
Scientists had determined that nitrogen was produced from chemical compounds that where 1% lighter than the atmosphere.
Its chemical symbol is Ar

4. Compounds
One compound for argon is Hydride which is used to indicate compounds of the type MxHy.
Another compound is a Chloride, a substance formed by chemical union of two or more elements.

5. Common Uses of Elements
One place that you would commonly use Argon is in a light bulb, and also in florescent tubes.
Argon can also be used as an inert gas shield for arc cutting.

6. Appearance in Natural Form
Little pieces of Argon are found in the air, the air is also made of Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen.
This is what Argon looks like.

7. Physical Properties The Melting Point of Argon is 83.8 K
Melting Point is the temperature at which the pressure of the solid and the liquid are the same.
The Boiling Point of Argon is 87.3 K
Boiling Point is the temperature at which the pressure of a liquid is one atmosphere.

8. State of Matter Argon is a gas in room temperature.
It is in the noble gases on the periodic table.

9. Chemical Properties
Argon is 2 ½ times more soluble in water than nitrogen.
It is extremely inert and forms no known chemical compounds
