What type of bond is argon?

The argon molecule is mono-atomic and so there is no bond.


What is the mass number for Argon-37?

You actually just answered your own question. The Isotope Ar-37 has a mass of 37. Most elements and Isotopes are commonly phrased like "Element-Mass"


How many neutrons are in argon?

The number of neutrons is 22(for the most stable isotope of argon, Ar-40)because you subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number then estimate!The most common isotope of Argon, 40Ar, (comprising about 99.6% of all naturally occurring Argon) has 22 neutrons 18 electrons 18 protons.Argon has 24 known isotopes ranging from 30Ar (with 12 neutrons) to 53Ar (with 35 neutrons).Of those only three are stable: 36Ar, 38Ar, and 40Ar.


What is the formula for argon?

Argon (gas) is a naturally occurring element. Almost 1% of the earth's atmosphere is argon, being the third most abundant gas in the atmosphere after nitrogen and oxygen.The chemical symbol for argon is Ar, and the most common form is the stable isotope 40Ar.Interestingly, naturally occurring potassium (isotope 40K), having a half-life of 1.25 × 109 years, actually decays to 40Ar and Calcium. So, if you wait long enough, argon gas (40Ar) will actually make itself from potassium!For more information, see 'Related links' below.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are present in one atom argon?

There is more than one isotope of argon (as there are of all elements) but the most common isotope is the one that has an atomic weight of 36; it has 18 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons. The same number for all three types of particles.
