What type of crystal structure does argon have?
Argon has a face-centered cubic structure.
What is the abbreviated electron configuration for argon?
The element argon (atomic number 18) has the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p6 which can be abbreviated [Ne] 3s23p6
What is the electron affinity of argon?
The electron affinity of argon, like all noble gases, is 0, or very close to it, due to its chemical inertness.
Argon is the last element in the period.What does this tell you in about argon?
Argon, like all of the "noble" gases, has a full electron shell.
What is the valence electron configuration of argon?
Argon, being one of the noble gases, has a completely filled outer electron shell and thus has zero valency.
How do you write the dot structure for argon?
. . : Ar : . . Write Ar, the symbol for argon and then write four electron pairs (or eight electrons) around the symbol.
Is the electron arrangement in an ion similar to neon or to argon?
Argon

Is the electron arrangement in an ion of chlorine similar to neon or argon?
Argon

How does potassium and fluorine atoms change their electron configuration to obain a noble gas structure?
Potassium must lose one electron (to have the same configuration as the noble gas argon), and fluorine must gain one electron (to have the same configuration as neon)
Is sodium or argon more reactive and why?
Argon has completely filled valence orbitals and hence is unreactive. Sodium has one valence electron. If sodium loses this electron it will attain the stable electron configuration of the nearest noble gas (argon) and hence is reactive.

Electron configuration for argon?
The electron configuration, in standard form, is [Ne] 3s2 3p6
Why does potassium atom become positively charged and fluorine becomes negatively charged?
Potassium only needs to lose on electron (gain a positive charge) to have the same electron structure as Argon and thus very stable. Similarly, fluorine only needs to gain one electron (become negatively charged) to gain the very stable Neon structure.
