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 a noble gas, which means it is nonreactive and inert. It does not readily combine with other elements to form compounds. Argon is often used in applications where nonreactivity is needed, such as in light bulbs and welding.

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