Why argon exists as a monotonic atom?

Argon is nonreactive, including with itself.


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.


Which elements have the same electron arrangement as Argon Chlorine Sulfur or Potassium?

No element has the exact same election arrangement as another element. However ion can have the same election arrangement as another element. For example Chloride (Cl-) has the same configuration as Argon, and Potassium (I) (K+) also has the same configuration as argon.
