It's usually neutral. [in it's monoatomic state]. It might form a compound known as Argon Fluorohydride, (HAr)F. It's semi positive in this compound.

Does argon have an electrical charge?

No.


What is the charge of an argon ion?

An argon ion can have a charge of +1, +2, or +3 depending on the number of electrons it has lost.


What is the nuclear charge in the 4th shell of an argon atom?

The nuclear charge in the 4th shell of an argon atom is +18, as argon has 18 protons in its nucleus. The nuclear charge is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.


Is argon ionic?

No, argon is not ionic. Argon is a noble gas, which means it exists as single atoms and does not form ions with a charge.


What is the ionic charge of argon?

Argon doesn't have an ionic charge because it is a noble element which means that it neither gains nor loses electrons. Note- see octet rule :)


What net charge does argon have?

Argon is a noble gas and has a net charge of zero because it is an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, balancing out the positive and negative charges.


Does argon have 18 electrons?

Yes, argon has 18 electrons. It has a total of 18 protons, which means it also has 18 electrons to balance the positive charge.


Is argon a cation or an anion?

The element, Argon is neither a cation nor an anion. It is one of the Noble gases.


What is the most common oxidation number of argon?

Argon is generally considered to be unreactive element, i.e. it cannot form compounds. But new researchs have found that argon can form a compound called Argon fluorohydride(HArF) which is very unstable. Here Argon's charge may be neutral, i.e. 0


When chlorine gains an electron to become a chloride ion with a -1 charge it ends up with the same electron arrangement as argon. Why doesn't it become an argon atom?

It doesn't become an argon atom because it (Cl-) still has 17 protons, and an argon atom has to have 18 protons.


What is the charge on Ar ion?

Cl & K ions are isoelectronic with Ar.


What ions have the same number of electrons as argon?

Ca2+ is one of them This is because the mass number of Argon (which is 18) lost 2 electrons (which has a negative charge). Without the impedance of the negative charge, Argon's mass number becomes 20 (instead of 18) and it acts like Calcium (which has the mass number of 20). You can probably figure out the rest of them from the above.
