It has a octet electronic configuration, which means the valence electrons (the outermost shells) are 8.

So, they rarely can react as a electronic shell can hold up to 8 electrons and they don't need to lose or gain electron through reactions to obtain a stable structure (octet electronic configuration)

Argon is a highly reactive gas true or false?

No, argon is not a highly reactive gas. It is stable.


Is argon more reactive than oxygen?

No, argon is not more reactive than oxygen. In fact, argon is a noble gas and is very non-reactive, while oxygen is a highly reactive element that readily participates in chemical reactions.


Why chemists might sometimes store reactive chemicals in argon An. To which family does argon belong?

Chemists might store reactive chemicals in argon because argon is an inert gas that does not react with most substances, thereby providing a stable environment for storing reactive chemicals. Argon belongs to the noble gas family.


Which is more reactive chlorine or argon?

Argon is chemically inert due to the presence of filled orbitals. Chlorine is highly reactive as it requires one more electron to gain octet.

What is he element is found in the same period as sulfur and argon and that is more reactive than sulfur and argon?

The element found in the same period as sulfur and argon, and more reactive than both, is chlorine. Chlorine is a highly reactive nonmetal that belongs to the same period (or row) as sulfur and argon on the periodic table.


What does argon taste of?

Argon is an inert, colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It does not have a flavor as it is chemically non-reactive.


What are the powers of argon?

It is inert and so has the power to preserve highly reactive substances from reacting with things. It is for this reason that the extremely reactive metal, caesium, is stored in argon.


Is argon a reactive atom?

No. argon is chemically unreactive due to the presence of completely filled orbitals.
