Like all the inert gases it is in atomic form. No molecules like Ar2 are possible.
Atom
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in a molecule.
There is one atom in argon. Argon is a "noble gas", which means that it occurs independently. This is true for all of the atoms on the final column of the periodic table. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas
argon
An atom of argon has a completely filled outer shell. If you know about bonding, you will get what I mean. The argon atom does not want to give or receive or give electrons because it is already as stable as possible.
Yes. Because argon is an element the smallest "piece" of it is referred to as an atom.
Argon (Ar) is an atom not a molecule. An atom is singular whereas a molecule is a group of two or more atoms.

The mass of the chlorine atom is 35.5. The mass of the argon atom is 40. So you may think that the argon is more massive than chlorine. That is not correct.In a given volume of gas, at given pressure and temperature, the number of molecules are same in case of the gas. Chlorine molecule has got two atoms. The argon remains single. So the mass of chlorine molecule is 35.5*2 = 71. the mass of argon atom and molecule is 40.So the chlorine gas is much massive as compared to argon gas. The proportion goes to be 71 to 40, to be exact.

18 represents the atomic number for Argon. It is the number of protons and of electrons in an argon atom and defines its position in the periodic table.
