Argon is a monatomic noble gas. It has 8 electrons in its outermost energy level, making it chemically inert. Its usefulness stems from the fact that it is so unreactive: it is used as an atmosphere to protect things from reaction with the air, e.g, during welding and in the production of titanium. It is used to fill light bulbs, and in strip lights. It is slightly denser than air.
