Is argon used in a light bulb?
yes argon is used for light bulb and it is not reactive
In a bulb noble gas argon is used . why is argon is used instead of air in the light bulb?
It won't burn the filament.
Why was argon gas chosen for a light bulb?
Argon is often used when an inert atmosphere is needed. It is used in this way in incandescent light bulbs to stop oxygen from corroding the filament. Argon is used in fluorescent tubes and low-energy light bulbs. A low-energy light bulb often contains argon gas and mercury. When it is switched on an electric discharge passes through the gas, generating UV light. The coating on the inside surface of the bulb is activated by the UV light and it glows brightly.
Why is argon used instead on air in the light bulb?
The filament in the light bulb is heated to a very high temperature. At such a temperature oxygen from the air would oxidise the metal(s) in the filament and thereby destroy the bulb. Using an inert gas such as argon in the bulb prevents such oxidation.
What is the gas that does not react at all and it is used in light bulbs so the metal in the light bulb can get very hot without burning?
Argon

What gas is in light bulbs?
An energy saving light bulb is simply a fluorescent light-bulb in a small housing with a built in starter . The gas used for it will be the same as a standard strip-light which is a tube filled with low pressure mercuric oxide and an inert gas like Argon Neon or krypton.
This gas does not react at all It is used in light bulbs so that the metal in the light bulb can get very hot without burning?
Argon
What is the gas that does not react at all and it is used in light bulbs so the metal in the light bulb can get very hot without burning?
Argon
What are some of the components in a light bulb?
The bulb and the filament are the two main components of an incandescent light bulb.
