Argon
Argon (Ar) is a noble gas that comprises 0.93 percent of the earth's atmosphere. (Noble gases are a group of rare gases that include argon, helium, krypton, neon, xenon and sometimes radon. They exhibit great stability and extremely low reaction rates. Also called inert gases.)
Argon is colorless, odorless, tasteless, nontoxic, and forms no known chemical compounds. A specific gravity of 1.38 makes argon 25 percent heavier than air. Which makes argon an asphyxiation danger in low or confined areas.
Argon is used primarily for applications such as arc welding, analytic equipment, steel making, heat-treating, and electronics manufacturing.
