What type of gas is argon in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Inert gas
Argon is a noble gas and is chemically inert under ordinary atmospheric conditions. It makes up roughly 0.93% of dry air, so it is present in a small amount compared with nitrogen and oxygen. Option C is correct. It is not highly reactive, it is not water vapour, and it is not the main greenhouse gas; water vapour and carbon dioxide have the relevant greenhouse roles.
