Argon Madeline Seagle Period A
Properties of Argon • Group- inert-element/ noble gas • Reactivity- none • Density- 0.0017837 grams per cubic centimeter
Properties of Argon • Melting Point:-308.83 F • Boiling Point:-302.53 F • State of Matter: Gas
History of Argon • Discoverers- Sir William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh • Discovered -1894 • How it was found- when nitrogen and oxygen were taken out of the air • Makes up 0.93% of the Earth’s atmosphere
How Argon is Used • When an inert atmosphere is needed • To fill incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs • In laser eye surgery • To form inert atmospheres
