No. An electrolyte is a substance in an aqueous solution that conducts electricity due to the presence of ions. Since Argon by itself is an atom and does not have any ions, it's not an electrolyte. It does not dissociate, or break apart into ions, in a solution so it cannot conduct electricity.

A general rule: electrolytes are usually strong acids and bases and salts.
