Why would you expect to find the elementargon in its pure uncombined form in nature?

Argon has a full octet of outer electrons. It is thus in its most energetically stable state. It would be energetically very unfavorable (almost impossible to date) to even form compounds. So in nature it would only be found in its pure uncombined form.

∙ 14y agoArgon is a "Noble Gas", and thus is almost always found in nature in it's pure elemental form.
However, as a Noble Gas, its Melting Point is: −189.35 °C
Its boiling point is: −185.85 °C
Thus it is only found as a liquid or a solid at extreme temperatures and pressures.
It is relatively common in the earth's atmosphere (mixed, of course, with oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements and compounds), and can dissolve somewhat in water.
Although generally inert, argon fluorohydride (HArF) has been synthesized at extremely low temperatures.

Which type of rock would you expect to exist deep in the Earth's crust?
You would expect to find igneous or metamorphic rocks, depending on the depth.
Who is more dominant people or nature?
i would say nature
What physical and chemical properties would you expect to find in two different samples of a pure substance?
Physically I would expect to find the same boiling and melting points, and the same density. Chemically, I would expect the same reactivity with other substances.
Is a sidewalk nature or non nature?
nature is the way the world naturaly is. this would mean that a paved side walk is not nature.

Would you expect to find Calcium uncombined in nature?
yes because it id a natural element and you would get it and make milk out of it
Would you expect to find lithium as an uncombined element in nature?
No, lithium is very reactive metal and you would expect it find it as one of the ions ion present in minerals.
Would you find calcium uncombined in nature?

What kind of poetry would you expect to find in the Hebrew Bible?
You would expect to find poetry of a religious nature.
Which metal would most likely be found combined?
the majority of metals are found combined with other elements in nature. Only a few are found uncombined- the best known example is gold.
You would not normally expect to see images from nature when viewing the works of?
James welling
Which term describes a metal found in an uncombined form?
The metal would be known as an elemental. Metal is most commonly found in nature as an ore, a mixture of the metal and other elements. Most metals are not found in their elemental form, copper being one of the exceptions.
Does nitrogen exist as a diatomic molecule?
Yes, this is essentially correct. We don't find chlorine in nature in an uncombined state, but when we make chlorine gas, it appears as the diatomic molecule Cl2.
Where would you find hydrogen in nature?
Hydrogen is an extremely abundant element and can be found just about everywhere. In its diatomic elemental form, hydrogen can be found in the atmosphere as well as in stars. However, it is a moderately reactive element and can be found in molecules ranging from water (hydrogen dioxide) to nucleic acids.
Does selenium blow up with chlorine?
It doesn't seem likely. Selenium isn't terribly reactive, and selenium monochloride exists in equilibrium with a different kind of selenium chloride, chlorine gas, and elemental selenium; this indicates that there's not a huge energy difference between the uncombined elements and the compound, as you would expect there to be if they "blew up" when combined.
