Fun Facts About Argon. Argon is one of the many elements in the Periodic Table. Its normal phase is gas, and it is in the family of Noble Gases. Its symbol is Ar., and its atomic number is eighteen. There are also eighteen protons, twenty-two neutrons, and eighteen electrons in argon. This element boils at -186.0 degrees Celsius and melts at -189.3 degrees Celsius.
Double glazing is even more efficient if the gap between the two panes of glass is filled with argon rather than just air because argon is a poorer conductor of heat. Thermal conductivity of argon at room temperature (300 K) is 17.72 mW m-1 K-1 (milliWatts per metre per degree) whereas for air it is 26 mW m-1 K-1. For the same reason argon is used to inflate diving suits. Old documents and other things that are susceptible to oxidation can be protected by being stored in an atmosphere of argon.
