It has a octet electronic configuration, which means the valence electrons (the outermost shells) are 8.
So, they rarely can react as a electronic shell can hold up to 8 electrons and they don't need to lose or gain electron through reactions to obtain a stable structure (octet electronic configuration)

∙ 10y agoArgon is a noble gas with electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s2 3p6. Since the outer shell electrons are fully filled, argon have no tendency to gain nor lose electrons. Thus Ar exists as a monatomic element that is stable, inert and unreactive.

Is argon and calcium reactive or stable?
Argon is stable. Calcium is reactive. There is no compound that forms between argon and calcium.
Of the gases oxygen argon chlorine and neon which 2 would be the most chemically reactive?
The elements from most reactive to least reactive are: Chlorine, Oxygen, Argon, and Neon.
Of the gases oxygen argon chlorine and neon which would be the two most chemically reactive?
The elements from most reactive to least reactive are: Chlorine, Oxygen, Argon, and Neon.
Is argon the least reactive gas?
No, it is not.
Is argon or magnesium more reactive with oxygen?
Argon is a Non-Reactive Element. Magnesium is a very Reactive Element. Magnesium will react violently when ignited in an Oxygen rich environment.
Is argon and calcium reactive or stable?
Argon is stable. Calcium is reactive. There is no compound that forms between argon and calcium.
Argon is a highly reactive gas true or false?
No, argon is not a highly reactive gas. It is stable.

What are the characteristics of Argon?
Argon is a very stable element, and isn't very reactive.
How reactive argon is?
All of the noble gases are relatively unreactive
Is Argon or sodium more reactive?
sodium
Why is argon used in light bubs instead of vacuum?
argon is no reactive how ever vacuum
Is helium more reactive than argon?
No. Both helium and argon are chemically inert.
Is argon used in a light bulb?
yes argon is used for light bulb and it is not reactive
