Well, that's because argon is a noble gas. Noble gases are in group 18 of the Periodic Table. It's very stable, inert and unreactive because of its electronic structure, [Ne] 3s2 3p6. All its shells are fully filled with electrons - we say that it has the stable octet structure or noble gas configuration. That's why there is no necessity for argon to gain, lose or share electrons with other atoms, and even among argon atoms. So it exists as a monatomic atom, just one atom on its own. It just doesn't need to bond and can stay inert and stable just by its own.

Two atoms of bromine react with each other to form what kind of bond?
A covalent bond.
When two chlorine atoms combine with each other what bond forms?
covalent
Two atoms of bromine react with each other to form what bond?
In any diatomic element it is always a covalent bond.
Do carbon atoms bond with other carbon atoms?
yes carbon is formed with other carbon atoms
Does CCl2F2 have hydrogen bond?
CCl2F2 can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor at the fluorine atoms, by not as a hydrogen bond donor, as it does not have any hydrogen atoms.
Can two argon atoms form a covalent bond to give ar2?
No. Argon has completely filled orbitals. It is stable and does not form compounds. Argon exists as monoatomic gas.
What kind of bond is argon?
Argon is chemically inert. It does not form bonds with other elements.
Can calcium bond with argon?
No, nothing can bond with argon,.
What do argon electrons do when argon forms a chemical bond?
they share electrons with the other atom they're combining with
Is Hydrogen more chemically active than Argon?
Yes, hydrogen has one electron and will readily bond with other elements. Argon is an inert gas which does not bond with other elements easily.
Between what atoms is a covalent bond most likely to occur calcium and lithium sodium and flourine nitrogen and oxygen helium and argon?
calcium and lithium are both metals and dont form bond with each other. sodium and flourine form ionic compound, sodium fluoride. nitrogen and oxygen form covalent bond in the nitrogen oxides. helium and argon are both nonmetals / noble gases and dont form bond with each other.
How many carbon atoms can bond to a single hydrogen atom?
Atoms of elements have a fixed number of electrons that can bond with other atoms. Carbon has 4 electrons that can bond with other atoms. So 4 hydrogen atoms can bond with one carbon atom.
Can carbon atoms bond with other atoms?
yes
What type type of bond does argon normally form?
To my knowledge argon is a noble gas, meaning it is extremely stable and very unlikely to bond. It may be I don't know enough but as a noble gas I believe it doesn't make bonds to other atoms.
Do magnesium and argon for an ionic compound?
No. Argon is chemically inert and does not form any bond with magnesium (or other metals).
What type of bond is argon?
The argon molecule is mono-atomic and so there is no bond.
Why do some atoms bond with other atoms?
Atoms combine with other atoms to form compound. It makes the atoms stable.
