No, but it does emit a purple discharge.
Argon is a gas and matter cannot pass through (threw?) electricity.
gases do not conduct heat or electricity well. metals conduct both well. but argon is a conductor.

wine preservers, some lightbulbs, argon filled double panes windows... oh, and when argon's excited by electricity, it turns all sky blue.... =)
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.

No. Argon is an inert element. Ozone (O3) is produced by electricity from oxygen (O2).
No.

Argon's ability to chemically interact with other materials is extreamly weak. So their are no NATURAL reactions. You can force argon to react it requires a lot of electricity and is dangerous.
Some cool facts for Argon are:Argon has a half-life of 35 days. Argon has no true compounds. Argon is not found in any compounds. Argon has the same solubility as oxygen. Argon is 2.5 times more soluble in water than nitrogen. Argon is the third most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere. The most exotic use of Argon is in the tires of luxurious cars. Every year world production produces 750.000 tones of Argon. Martian atmosphere contains 1.6% of Argon. Argon has approximately the same solubility as oxygen. And more recently Argon was used as a key part in a lightning gun where electricity traveled 10 feet to a target by moving through a trail of Argon Gas. -
When an electric current is passed through Argon, it becomes blue
