Valence electrons are the outer layer of electrons, the part that reacts.
Argon is a noble gas, so it has a full valence electron level.
It has eight valence electrons.
Argon, being one of the noble gases, has a completely filled outer electron shell and thus has zero valency.
An element with a complete valence electron shell is a noble gas. Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and non-reactive. Examples include helium, neon, and argon.
Argon is a noble gas. All noble gasses have 8 valence electrons. Thus argon has 8 valence electrons as well.
Argon has a valence of 0 because it is a noble gas and already has a full outer shell of electrons.

Argon, being one of the noble gases, has a completely filled outer electron shell and thus has zero valency.
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.
Argon, being one of the noble gases, has a completely filled outer electron shell and thus has zero valency.
Argon. Calcium has the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2, and when it loses its valence electrons (the outermost 4s2 electrons) it has a configuration identical to argon. If you don't know about sublevels, then disregard that. Calcium has a configuration of 2-8-8-2, and when it loses its 2 valence electrons, it has a configuration identical to argon in the ground state. Hope that cleared it up

Krypton and argon both have 8 valence electrons. This is true of all noble gases except helium, which has only 2 valence electrons.

Argon is neither a semimetal nor a metal. It is a noble gas with a full valence electron shell, making it chemically inert and non-metallic in nature.
Argon, as a noble gas, is chemically stable because it has a full valence shell of electrons (8 electrons). This full valence shell gives argon the same electron configuration as the nearest noble gas, neon, which is very stable. Because of this stability, argon tends not to react with other elements to form compounds.
Argon is a noble gas and therefore does not typically form bonds with other elements, as its electron configuration is stable with a full valence shell. It exists as single atoms in its natural state.
