Argon is dense and so collects close to the ground. In an enclosed space, it can fill up the lower level. It cab then cause death by asphyxiation. Because it is colourless and odourless it is hard to detect.

Why would a welder use helium and argon gases during welding?
Argon is an inert gas so metals can be heated to a high temperature in an argon atmosphere without any danger of their reacting with surrounding materials.
Is argon a hydrogen?
This must be a typo of some sort. No, argon is not "a hydrogen," whatever that means.
Does argon puts out fire?
Yes. Argon is chemically inert and is used in some fire extinguishers.
How many nutrons does argon have?
There are 3 Isotopes with the following mass numbers: Argon 36 Argon 38 Argon 40 Argon has an atomic number of 18 (it therefore has 18 protons in its nucleus and 18 electrons flying round it). To get the number of neutrons one subtracts the atomic number from the mass number. This means that some Argon atoms have 18 neutrons, some 20 neutrons and some 22 neutrons the isotope with 22 neutrons is the most common and forms 99.6% of all Argon.
What are some common argon compounds?
Argon is chemically inert and does not form compounds under normal conditions
What are some really fun and facts about argon?
Some cool facts for Argon are:Argon has a half-life of 35 days. Argon has no true compounds. Argon is not found in any compounds. Argon has the same solubility as oxygen. Argon is 2.5 times more soluble in water than nitrogen. Argon is the third most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere. The most exotic use of Argon is in the tires of luxurious cars. Every year world production produces 750.000 tones of Argon. Martian atmosphere contains 1.6% of Argon. Argon has approximately the same solubility as oxygen. And more recently Argon was used as a key part in a lightning gun where electricity traveled 10 feet to a target by moving through a trail of Argon Gas. -
What are some household items of argon?
some light bulbs
What are the examples of argon?
wine preservers, some lightbulbs, argon filled double panes windows... oh, and when argon's excited by electricity, it turns all sky blue.... =)
What is some interesting info about argon?
nothing
Do electrical light bulbs have argon in them?
Some of them do.
Why do some reactors contain argon and not air?
Argon is an inert gas and doesn't react with other substances from the reactor.
Which gases are used in some lightbulbs?
Argon, as simple as that!!
