Best Answer

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

What ionic compounds and covalent compounds does argon form?

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.

Can argon atoms form a covalent bond?

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."
