No, argon (Ar) is stable, inert and unreactive. The reason is that Ar is a noble gas and has the octet structure so there is no tendency to gain nor lose electrons. As can be seen from its electronic configuration, Ne 3s2 3p6, its outer shell are fully filled and thus it has the stable noble gas configuration that other atoms desire to attain so as to achieve stability.
