Argon is considered which type of gas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Inert gas
The governing concept is noble-gas stability. Argon has a complete outer electron shell, so it has very little tendency to gain, lose, or share electrons in ordinary conditions. It is therefore classified as an inert or noble gas and forms only a small number of compounds. Oxygen supports respiration, but argon does not; being present in air does not make it a life-supporting gas. The best answer is inert gas.
