Is argon gas explosive?
Any gas stored under pressure can result in an explosion. But other than that, no. Argon is chemically inert.
What does the chemical Ar stand for?
Ar is the chemical symbol for argon.
What are All the Atoms in argon?
Argon is an element and all the atoms in argon are argon atoms.
Is oxygen chlorine silicon or argon?
argon
Which element had the largest atom potassium or argon?
argon
Is argon gas explosive?
Any gas stored under pressure can result in an explosion. But other than that, no. Argon is chemically inert.
What hazards can argon gas pose to humans?
In general none. However, argon is often used to clear out tanks which are filled with explosive or combustible gases. Argon, being a dense gas will collect at the bottom of such a tank and poses a risk of death by asphyxiation.
What happens when heat gets to argon?
if it is heated to much it will blow up as it is flammable and explosive it is also dangerous if pressurized in a container
How does argon affect people?
Argon is non-toxic and so does not affect people in any significant way. It is significantly denser than the other gases in air and so, in an enclosed space, it can fill the lower layers. This could result in death by asphyxiation - particularly because, being inert, argon is often used in tanks which could contain explosive fumes.
What is the bad effects of argon?
Argon is a non flammable, non-toxic gas and so is generally harmless. Being an inert gas it is sometimes pumped into empty tanks, such as oil tanks, to remove explosive vapours which might have collected there. This is particularly important if the tank requires any welding! However, argon is also a dense gas and so can collect at the bottom of such a tank. A person going into the tank may not notice the argon because it is colourless and odourless but be displacing the oxygen, it can cause death by asphyxiation.
