Despite the trapping of 40 Ar in many rocks, it can be released by melting, grinding, and diffusion. Almost all argon in the Earth's atmosphere is the product of 40 K decay, since 99.6% of Earth's atmospheric argon is 40 Ar, whereas in the Sun and presumably in primordial star-forming clouds, argon consists of < 15% 38 Ar and mostly (85%) 36 Ar.
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 (symbol Ar) is the third element in group 18, the noble gases. Argon is the third most common gas in the Earth's atmosphere , at 0.93%, making it more common than carbon dioxide . Nearly all of this argon is radiogenic argon-40 derived from the decay of potassium-40 in the Earth's crust.
The composition of the gas determines both the minimal arc voltage and the distance at which it occurs. For argon, the minimal arc voltage is 137 V at a larger 12 μm. For sulfur dioxide, the minimal arc voltage is 457 V at only 4.4 μm.
Kinetic diameter is a measure applied to atoms and molecules that expresses the likelihood that a molecule in a gas will collide with another molecule. It is an indication of the size of the molecule as a target.
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.
