Argon is a noble gas. It has completely filled valence orbitals, is stable and hence chemically inert. It doesn't form any compounds.

No. Argon has completely filled orbitals. It is stable and does not form compounds. Argon exists as monoatomic gas.
They are neither. Neon and Argon are nobel gases, which means they don't normally bond at all, for they have a full outter electron shell.

the covalent radius of argon is 97 pico meter
The covalent radius of argon is 106 +/- 10 picometers.

The covalent atomic radius of argon is 106 +/- 1o pm (pm is the acronym of the picometer).
Argon is chemically inert due to the presence of completely filled orbitals. It does not react with other elements and hence does not form ionic or covalent compounds at STP.
No. Argon has completely filled orbitals. It is stable and does not form compounds. Argon exists as monoatomic gas.
Covalent molecules with small amounts of argon which is monatomic. All molecules are covalent. Ionic compounds form crystals, not molecules.
They are neither. Neon and Argon are nobel gases, which means they don't normally bond at all, for they have a full outter electron shell.
Silicon is a covalent macromolecule. Argon, on the other hand, only has weak Van der Waal's force.
From Wikipedia on June 21, 2012: "In August 2000, the first argon compound was formed by researchers at the University of Helsinki. By shining ultraviolet light onto frozen argon containing a small amount of hydrogen fluoride, argon fluorohydride (HArF) was formed."
