It's usually neutral. [in it's monoatomic state]. It might form a compound known as Argon Fluorohydride, (HAr)F. It's semi positive in this compound.

What is the charge of an argon ion?
l
What net charge does argon have?
Zero.
What is the ionic charge of argon?
Argon doesn't have an ionic charge because it is a noble element which means that it neither gains nor loses electrons. Note- see octet rule :)
What is the most common oxidation number of argon?
Argon is generally considered to be unreactive element, i.e. it cannot form compounds. But new researchs have found that argon can form a compound called Argon fluorohydride(HArF) which is very unstable. Here Argon's charge may be neutral, i.e. 0
What ions have the same number of electrons as argon?
Ca2+ is one of them This is because the mass number of Argon (which is 18) lost 2 electrons (which has a negative charge). Without the impedance of the negative charge, Argon's mass number becomes 20 (instead of 18) and it acts like Calcium (which has the mass number of 20). You can probably figure out the rest of them from the above.
Does argon have an electrical charge?

When chlorine gains an electron to become a chloride ion with a -1 charge it ends up with the same electron arrangement as argon. Why doesn't it become an argon atom?
It doesn't become an argon atom because it (Cl-) still has 17 protons, and an argon atom has to have 18 protons.

What element has 17 protons and 18 neutrons?
argon
Sulfur forms an ion of what charge?
2- Because, to get a full octet, Sulfur gains two electrons to become like Argon, thus it gains a charge of 2-.
How many positive charges does argon atom have?
Argon is usually electrically neutral and has no charge. It is possible to ionize it, however (at very high temperatures or by means of a high voltage) at which point it would have a positive charge.
What does the chemical Ar stand for?
Ar is the chemical symbol for argon.
