歷史
Argon was suspected to be present in air by Henry Cavendish in 1785.

It was not isolated until 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay in Scotland.

Argon became the first member of the noble gases to be discovered.

In 1957, IUPAC agreed that the symbol should change from A to Ar.

應用
Argon gas is used to fill conventional incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs.

Argon is also used as an inert gas shield for arc welding and cutting, as blanket for the production of titanium and other reactive elements.

It is used as a protective atmosphere for growing silicon and germanium crystals.
Argon is considered to be non-toxic
