argon is a component of "air" and as such air cannot be lighter than air, only more or less dense, however, judging from atomic masses, yes argon is heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and hydrogen, but depending on pollutants and other gases (CFC's, HCFC's, etc.) the compound that is air can vary slightly in mass.

Why is argon useful?
Because it is inert but unlike Helium is slightly Heavier than air.
What percentage of air is argon?
Argon is a little less than 1% of the air.
Is SO2 heavier than air?
Yes,it is heavier than air.It sinks to bottom in air.
Why does LPG sink to the floor?
LPG sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air.LPG sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air.
Is an unreactive gas that sinks in air?
Argon is more dense than air.
Is Argon Heavier than Argon?
Argon is 1.4 times heavier than air.
Is argon heavier then air?
Yes, it is heavier than air.
Why does an argon balloon sink?
Because it is heavier than air.
Why is argon useful?
Because it is inert but unlike Helium is slightly Heavier than air.
Is argon natural or synthetic?
Argon is a naturally occurring element.It is not chemically reactive and is heavier than air - so your argon balloons will sit on the floor not the ceiling!
What commercially available inert gas or gases are heavier than air?
Argon, krypton, xenon, radon are denser than air.
Why is argon more dense than nitrogen?
atoms of argon are heavier than atoms of nitrogen
Is argon lighter than air?
No Argon is not lighter than air. Argon is 25% more dense than air.
What is the uses of argon?
Argon is an inert gas and can be used in organic synthesis laboratories to displace oxygen. It is useful for this because it is heavier than air and will sit on the surface of a solution preventing contact with atmospheric oxygen.
What percentage of air is argon?
Argon is a little less than 1% of the air.
Are solvents heavier than air?
Yes solvents are heavier than air
Is breath heavier than air?
No, water is heavier than air.
