Argon does occur in potassium-containing minerals as a result of the radioactive decay of K-40. However, this is not a significant source commercially; at nearly 1%, argon is the third most abundant component of the Earth's atmosphere, and it's extracted via fractional distillation of liquefied air.

What object contains argon?
Argon is a chemical element that is a part of the Earth's atmosphere. It is a noble gas and is present in trace amounts (about 0.934% by volume) in the atmosphere. Additionally, argon can be found in certain minerals and rocks, such as potassium-bearing minerals, as it is produced through the radioactive decay of potassium-40. However, argon is not typically found in significant quantities within specific objects; instead, it is more commonly encountered as a component of the atmosphere.
Examples of trace minerals?
Argon and Lithium
How is argon found naturally?
Argon is found in the air! Argon is present if the Earth's atmosphere at 0.94%
Is argon found in the air?
Yes there is argon in the air in the atmosphere
Where is argon natrally found?
Argon is found in trace amounts in the atmosphere. It is found as a mixture along with other noble gases.
What country was argon found in?
Argon was found in Scotland in 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay.
Which isotope of argon is most commonly found?
99.6% of Argon is Argon40
Where is argon found on earth?
Simply put, argon is found in the air! Argon is present if the Earth's atmosphere at 0.94%. Argon's full outer shell makes it stable and resistant to bonding with other elements
Is argon rare or abundant?
Argon is chemically inert and hence it is rare. Argon is found only as traces in the atmosphere
Is argon a natural element in the human body?
no. argon is not found in the human body
