Argon, Ar. 0.93. Carbon dioxide, CO2. 0.033. Neon, Ne. 0.0018. Helium, He. 0.00052. Methane ... much higher than it is in air. ... Argon is the most abundant and most used of the noble gases.
False
To get helium you can use fractional distillation of liquid air.-or-If you just wanted to separate helium from a MIXTURE of helium and argon you could use diffusion. Since helium is lighter than air while argon is heaver than air. You can capture the helium as it "diffuses" away from argon.
Argon is the most abundant noble gas in Earth's atmosphere, at slightly less than one percent.
Argon is a major component of air and has a much higher temperature of evaporation than Helium - therefore it is much easier to produce and cheaper.
I would say helium because it is used commercially all over the world.
No. Both helium and argon are chemically inert.
Liquid argon could in theory be used for cryogenics, but it has a similar temperature range to liquid nitrogen, which is tremendously cheaper and more abundant than argon. For the lower temperature ranges, you would use liquid helium.
Argon has a higher mass number which means it has more particles in its nucleus than helium so I would go with argon.
False

Yes, it does.
Nitrogen Argon Carbon Dioxide Helium and a lot more! Some other gases are Nitrogen, Argon, Neon, and Hydrogen.
argon is a component of "air" and as such air cannot be lighter than air, only more or less dense, however, judging from atomic masses, yes argon is heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen, but depending on pollutants and other gases (CFC's, HCFC's, etc.) the compound that is air can vary slightly in mass.
They are both noble gases. Neon is more reactive than Argon because it has a smaller radius, therefore its electrons are closer to the nucleus
