Argon is a major component of air and has a much higher temperature of evaporation than Helium - therefore it is much easier to produce and cheaper.
Argon and Helium are part of the noble gasses family.
argon
To get helium you can use fractional distillation of liquid air.-or-If you just wanted to separate helium from a MIXTURE of helium and argon you could use diffusion. Since helium is lighter than air while argon is heaver than air. You can capture the helium as it "diffuses" away from argon.
Helium, neon, and argon are the three lightest members of the noble gases.
No, helium argon and radon are members of the noble gas family.
Argon is a noble gas known for its low reactivity. It is not an insulator in the traditional sense, as it does not conduct electricity like insulating materials such as rubber or plastic. However, argon can be used as a filler gas in insulating materials such as double-pane windows to improve thermal insulation.
Argon and Helium are part of the noble gasses family.
Argon is a non-reactive gas and does not conduct heat like metals or other materials. It is commonly used as an insulating gas in sealed windows or as a shield gas in welding to prevent oxidation.

They are gases.
Helium, neon, and argon are the three lightest members of the noble gases.
Argon and helium are both noble gases, which are generally inert and do not readily form chemical bonds with other elements. Therefore, argon and helium do not typically form chemical compounds with each other or with other elements.
No, helium argon and radon are members of the noble gas family.
Yes, argon boils at a higher temperature than helium. Argon boils at -185.86°C whereas helium boils at -268.9°C.
When helium and argon are mixed together, they form a homogeneous mixture known as a gas blend. The properties of the gas blend will depend on the ratio of helium to argon in the mixture. Helium is lighter than argon and less soluble in liquids, so it tends to rise to the top of the mixture when not in a pressurized container.
The most abundant noble gas in Earth's atmosphere is argon, which makes up about 0.934% of the atmosphere.
