An atom of argon has a completely filled outer shell. If you know about bonding, you will get what I mean. The argon atom does not want to give or receive or give electrons because it is already as stable as possible.
Atoms of argon have a full outer (valence) shell, and this is why argon is inert. The electrons of an atom have different energy levels. It's conventional to call each collection of possible states of electrons for a given energy level a shell. Shells have finite capacity and argon has a full outer shell. Chemical reactions tend to rely on electrons jumping from one atom to another or two sharing the orbit of 2 electrons (a type of shell around 2 electrons if you like). If the shells are full it is usually more energy efficient for an electron to stay put rather than jump to another atom. consequently argon with its full shells rarely bonds.
Yes. Because argon is an element the smallest "piece" of it is referred to as an atom.
Yes, Argon (Ar) is an mono-atomic elementary gas, so it's PURE
Argon is a gas element. atomic number of it is 18.
The element symbol for Argon is Ar.

The element argon has affected society because it has created things such as electric lightbulbs and floresant tubes. Lightbulbs are the most commonly used item that is made with argon.
Not under normal circumstances.
Yes, Argon (Ar) is an mono-atomic elementary gas, so it's PURE
Argon is a gas element. atomic number of it is 18.
Argon is an inert gas; up today only 3-4 unstable compounds are known.
The element symbol for Argon is Ar.
It is because it usually does not combine with any elements
Argon is an element and all the atoms in argon are argon atoms.
No, argon is not a compound. It is an element classified as a noble gas, existing in its atomic form.
