Why is mentioning argon necessary even at an expert level among atmospheric elements?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it is among the major inert permanent gases of dry air
Argon is important because it is a naturally occurring, chemically inert and permanent constituent of dry air. Although its proportion is much smaller than nitrogen and oxygen, it is still present in a measurable amount and is commonly listed when the composition of the atmosphere is discussed. Option B is incorrect because carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour are important greenhouse gases; argon does not drive the greenhouse effect. Options C and D confuse argon with processes involving water vapour and ozone.
