Atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration of electrons, which is stable.
Argon already has such a configuration and is very stable as it is. Any gain or loss of electrons would make it less stable.

What is the ion formula for argon?
Argon does not normally form ions.
Can argon be an ion?
Argon, being a noble gas normally does not form ions.
Can argon form an ionic bond?
No. However, ions of argonium (argon hydride) have been identified in space.
Is the ionic state of ARGON CH4?
No. Argon does not form ions. CH4 is the simplest alkane and is called methane.
Why don't neon and argon form ions?
there outermost shells are completely filled.

Would argon lose or gain an electron?
Neither. It does not form ions.

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 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
In element bromine what ion is it most likely to form in compounds?
Argon doesn't form any ions as it has completely filled orbitals and is chemically inert.
What other element does argon make compounds with?
Fluorine and hydrogen: to form argon fluorohydride.Hydrogen to form argonium or argon hydride.
What ion is argon is mostly likely to form in compounds?
Argon does not form compounds in standard conditions.
What color is liquid argon?
Argon is colorless in any form.
