The oxygen molecules that you breathe are actually used in the last part of aerobic respiration. They are the final electron acceptors in electron transport chain.
Oxygen is the last electron acceptor. Oxygen is converted to water when the it meets with hydrogen ions.
A final electron acceptor that is a stronger oxidizing agent than the last oxidizing agent in the electron transport chain is needed to remove low-energy electrons from the chain so that new high energy electrons can enter the chain to generate more ATPs. Without a final electron acceptor the electron transport chain will be backed up with low energy electrons and eventually no ATP can be generated since no new electron can enter the chain.
well, it depends on how many electrons are there in the last orbital P....it can be any element from Aluminum to Argon (look at the periodic table)
During aerobic respiration, oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP in the mitochondria. This process is essential for generating energy in the form of ATP for the cell to function properly.
This tells us that argon has a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive. Elements at the end of a period often have filled electron shells, giving them properties different from other elements in the same period.

Argon is extremely stable. In the last 10 years a compound of argon HArF has been reported - University of Helsinki.
Short answer: It doesn't have that many; it's a noble gas. Long answer: Argon fluorohydride, HArF, has tentative stability under -233 Celsius. A few Van der Waals molecules containing argon are known (Ar2, H2-Ar, C6H6-Ar), and the fullerene (Ar@C60) is known--but the last four are not true "compounds". Argon is a noble gas, having 8 electrons in its outer electron shell, so other atoms have to force that shell to expand for any compounds to form. So, only extreme conditions with the strongest electron-drawing element in existence can crack argon.

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor. Oxygen, with it's great electronegativity, pulls electrons through the electron transport chain where these electrons provide the motive force to pump protons into the outer lumen of the mitochondria. When these protons fall down their concentration gradient oxygen is there to pick then up with the electrons and form water.
Oxygen is typically considered the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (ETC) during cellular respiration. It accepts electrons from NADH and FADH2 to form water, which marks the end of the electron transport chain and generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Argon is the last element in its period (period 3) because it fills the 3p sublevel, which can hold a maximum of six electrons. After argon, the next element, potassium, begins filling the 4s sublevel in the next period (period 4).
