Incandescent bulbs are filled with an inert gas to avoid oxidation (and destruction) of the metallic filament.

Yes, a halogen lamp is a type of incandescent lamp. It operates on the same principle of using a tungsten filament that is heated until it glows to produce light. The main difference is that halogen lamps contain a small amount of halogen gas, which allows the filament to last longer by redepositing evaporated tungsten back onto the filament.
Argon and nitrogen are used in electric bulbs because they are inert gases, which means they are stable and do not react with the filament or other components of the bulb at high temperatures. This helps to prolong the life of the bulb and maintain a consistent level of brightness. Argon is used mainly for incandescent bulbs, while nitrogen is used for halogen bulbs.
Yes, argon is a gas at room temperature. It is a colorless, odorless, and non-reactive noble gas that makes up about 1% of the Earth's atmosphere.
Used in lighting applications, such as fluorescent lights and neon signs. Used in laser technology for research and medical treatments. Used in the production of specialized windows and lenses for cameras and scientific instruments. Used in the production of incandescent light bulbs for longer lifespan. Used in the aerospace industry for its inert properties in creating controlled atmospheres.
Argon is a gas in it's natural state. So, no, it would not make a good conductor of heat or electricity. In fact, it would be an excellent insulator because it is an inert gas. For this reason, it is used to fill incandescent light bulbs.
