Argon is a noble gas, therefore it has no reactivity. All atoms are trying to gain a full outer shelf of valence electrons, either 0 or 8. The reactivity level is higher the fewer valence electrons the atom needs to lose or gain. The noble gasses already have a full outer shelf, so they are not reactive.

Argon is chemically inert due to the presence of completely filled orbitals. It does not react with other elements.
