yes argon is used for light bulb and it is not reactive
It won't burn the filament.
It doesn't react
If you use air instead of argon to fill a light bulb, the air will burn the light bulb.
Argon is often used when an inert atmosphere is needed. It is used in this way in incandescent light bulbs to stop oxygen from corroding the filament. Argon is used in fluorescent tubes and low-energy light bulbs. A low-energy light bulb often contains argon gas and mercury. When it is switched on an electric discharge passes through the gas, generating UV light. The coating on the inside surface of the bulb is activated by the UV light and it glows brightly.
The filament in the light bulb is heated to a very high temperature. At such a temperature oxygen from the air would oxidise the metal(s) in the filament and thereby destroy the bulb. Using an inert gas such as argon in the bulb prevents such oxidation.

Yes and it is often used
argon and xenon i think
It doesn't react
regular light bulbs have argon and/or nitrogen

argon is an element that make up a light bulb
The kind of gas that is in a light bulb is called Argon.
The filament in the light bulb is heated to a very high temperature. At such a temperature oxygen from the air would oxidise the metal(s) in the filament and thereby destroy the bulb. Using an inert gas such as argon in the bulb prevents such oxidation.
