Why is argon considered more abundant than carbon dioxide in air?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because argon is about 0.93 percent
In dry air, argon makes up approximately 0.93% by volume, whereas carbon dioxide is present at roughly 0.04%, although its concentration can vary. Therefore argon is more abundant than carbon dioxide, making option A correct. Carbon dioxide is definitely present, argon is a noble gas rather than water vapour, and oxygen is far more abundant than argon, so the remaining statements are incorrect.
