Argon (18 Ar) has 26 known isotopes, from 29 Ar to 54 Ar, of which three are stable (36 Ar, 38 Ar, and 40 Ar). On Earth, 40 Ar makes up 99.6% of natural argon. The longest-lived radioactive isotopes are 39 Ar with a half-life of 268 years, 42 Ar with a half-life of 32.9 years, and 37 Ar with a half-life of 35.04 days.
Ar contamination. Most of the argon in Earth's atmosphere was produced by electron capture of long-lived 40 K (40 K + e − → 40 Ar + ν) present in natural potassium within Earth. The 39 Ar activity in the atmosphere is maintained by cosmogenic production through the knockout reaction 40 Ar (n,2n) 39 Ar and similar reactions. The half-life of 39
Argon–argon (or 40 Ar/ 39 Ar) dating is a radiometric dating method invented to supersede potassium–argon (K/Ar) dating in accuracy. The older method required splitting samples into two for separate potassium and argon measurements, while the newer method requires only one rock fragment or mineral grain and uses a single measurement of argon isotopes.

The term “industrial gases” [32] is sometimes narrowly defined as just the major gases sold, which are: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, hydrogen, acetylene and helium. [33] Many names are given to gases outside of this main list by the different industrial gas companies, but generally the gases fall into the categories "specialty ...
Purified argon gas is the most commonly used inert gas due to its high natural abundance (78.3% N 2, 1% Ar in air) [3] and low relative cost. Unlike noble gases , an inert gas is not necessarily elemental and is often a compound gas.
Production of the brand's petrol powered models began in 1950, with the introduction of the 10 HP SAME 4R/10 and the 20 HP 4R/20. 1952 saw the launch of the DA 25, the first mass-produced modern tractor with all-wheel drive , powered by a 25 HP, 2280 cm3 two cylinder diesel engine, with a 7 speed transmission and a top speed of 24.3 km/h.
Diargon or the argon dimer is a molecule containing two argon atoms. Normally, this is only very weakly bound together by van der Waals forces (a van der Waals molecule ). However, in an excited state , or ionised state , the two atoms can be more tightly bound together, with significant spectral features.
