Argon chloride, ArCl is least likely to exist.

Argon belongs to the noble gas family. It has an atomic number of 18 and a valence electron configuration: 3s²3p⁶. Since the valence shell is completely filled i.e. it already has an octet configuration, this makes it stable and chemically inert. When approached closely by another element, Cl in this case, the fully filled valence shell of Ar would repel the incoming electron cloud. The only bond that could exist is the extremely weak, long-range Vander-Waals bond between Ar and Cl.

yulyashka [42]

Answer: The standard state refers to 1 atm and $25^{o}C$ .

Explanation:

It is known that a chemical/substance can either be present in a solid, liquid or gaseous state.

So, when the phase of a substance like solid, liquid or gas is present at 1 atmosphere pressure and at a temperature of $25^{o}C$ then it known as standard state of substance.

Thus, we can conclude that standard state refers to 1 atm and $25^{o}C$ .
