Matter has more density when solid than when in a liquid state. The atoms are closer together.
Solid Argon is more dense than the liquid phase
The density of argon is 1.784 g/L.
I think its a gasIt is a gas at room temperature, however, at lower temperature or higher pressure it can be a liquid or even a solid. Think about H2O is it a liquid? It depends on temperature and pressure. water, ice and steam are all H2O, but at different tempertures.
The melting point and boiling point of argon are 83.81 K and 87.302 K respectively. So argon is liquid in between these two temperatures.
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.
Solid Argon is more dense than the liquid phase
Argon is a gas at STP. It becomes a liquid below -186oC and solid below -190oC at StP
Argon is a gas at STP. It becomes a liquid below -186oC and solid below -190oC at StP
Argon is a gas at room temperatures.

It can be a solid liquid or a gas, depending on the temperature
This depends on temperature and pressure, consider h2o. Is "water" a solid liquid or gas? Clouds are water vapor as is steam, rivers oceans and lakes are liquid, and icebergs are solids. However, Argon is a gas in earths atmosphere so at those conditions it is a gas. Argon is solid at temperatures below -189.3°C, at which temperature it liquefies. It is a gas at temperatures of -185.86°C and higher.
Willem van Witzenburg has written: 'The equation of state of liquid and solid argon' -- subject(s): Argon
i think argon is solid
The density of argon is 1.784 g/L.
There are three kinds of matter: gas: argon; liquid: water; solid: wood
