No, it is a monatomic gas.
Yes, argon can be an ion in specific conditions. Argon can become a cation (positively charged ion) by losing an electron or an anion (negatively charged ion) by gaining an electron. However, argon is typically stable and does not readily form ions under normal circumstances.
An argon ion can have a charge of +1, +2, or +3 depending on the number of electrons it has lost.
Yes, argon can form ions, but it is less likely to do so because it is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive. It would require a significant amount of energy to remove an electron from argon to form an ion.
Na+ and neon are isoelectronic.
Argon is a noble gas and exists as a monoatomic molecule in its natural state, which means it does not typically form ions. Its chemical symbol is Ar.

Yes, argon can be an ion in specific conditions. Argon can become a cation (positively charged ion) by losing an electron or an anion (negatively charged ion) by gaining an electron. However, argon is typically stable and does not readily form ions under normal circumstances.
An argon ion can have a charge of +1, +2, or +3 depending on the number of electrons it has lost.
No, argon does not form an ion isoelectronic with krypton. Argon has 18 electrons, while krypton has 36 electrons. To be isoelectronic, the two species should have the same number of electrons.

A chloride ion (Cl-) has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of the element argon (Ar).
The electron arrangement in an ion of chlorine will be similar to argon because both chlorine (Cl) and argon (Ar) are in the same period (row) of the periodic table. Neon (Ne) is in a different period and has a different electron arrangement.
Argon is isoelectronic with the sulfide ion.
Argon has the same electron configuration as a potassium ion, as both species have 18 electrons with the electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p⁶.
Na+ and neon are isoelectronic.
Sulphur is not iso-electronic with any noble gas. However sulphide ion (S2- ion) is iso-electronic with argon with 18 electrons.
A chloride ion has the same number of electrons as a neutral atom of an element in Period 3 of the periodic table, as both consist of 17 electrons.
