Answer:

Argon's atoms have 18 protons, 22 neutrons in its nucleus, orbited by 18 electrons- its atomic mass= P 18 +N 22.

Explanation:

Atoms are the most basic unit of matter that makes up elements. Atoms are composed of electrons orbiting neutrons and protons surrounding a nucleus.

The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in an atom, while the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons.

The element Argon, Ar is a noble gas, that exists in a gaseous, inert, state at temperature. Its atoms have 18 protons, 22 neutrons in its nucleus, orbited by 18 electrons- its atomic mass= P 18 +N 22.

There are 8 valence electrons in its outer shell, thus:

  • Ar is not very reactive, as it does not require electron sharing in atomic bonding.
  • It shows low conductivity, as there are no free electrons
