Ar-40 accounts for 99.6% of the total.
40 Ar, because of its weight its very close to 40g/mol
Ar 40 is the most common isotope, accounting for 99.6% of the total (by weight).
Argon is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 40.
neutrons = 22 (for the most stable isotope of argon, Ar-40)
The centre of argon consists of the nucleus of argon with 18 protons. Also there will be 22 neutrons in the nucleus for the most stable isotope of argon.

That statement is incorrect. Argon has an atomic number of 18, which means it has 18 protons in its nucleus. The number of neutrons in an argon nucleus can vary depending on the isotope, but a common isotope, Argon-40, has 22 neutrons.
Argon is a non metal element. Mass number of it is 40.

An argon nucleus typically contains 18 protons and either 20 or 22 neutrons, depending on the isotope of argon. The most common isotope, argon-40, has 18 protons and 22 neutrons.
Argon-40 is the most commonly found isotope of argon on Earth, with a natural abundance of about 99.6%. This isotope is stable and is produced from the radioactive decay of potassium-40 in the Earth's crust.
Only one isotope has a given number of protons andneutrons. In this case it is Argon-40
Argon does not have a half-life because it is a stable element. Argon-40, a radioactive isotope of argon, has a half-life of about 1.25 billion years and is commonly used in radiometric dating.
The nucleus contains 18 protons and neutrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of argon. Ar-20, the most common isotope of argon has 22 neutrons.
The most common isotope of Argon, 40Ar, accounts for just under 1% of the Earth's atmosphere. Most of this comes from the radioactive decay of Potassiom-40 in the Earth's crust.
The centre of argon consists of the nucleus of argon with 18 protons. Also there will be 22 neutrons in the nucleus for the most stable isotope of argon.
