Interesting Facts
 4. Argon is the third most abundant gas in the Earth’s atmosphere.
 5. It is what is put inside of light bulbs to keep oxygen from catching the
electricity on fire.
 6. Argon is an absolute snob. It hates the other elements so much that it can
be described as ‘inert.’ In other words, it doesn’t really form compounds.
 7. It does absolutely nothing. That counts as an ‘interesting’ fact, right?

Never fear, for Argon is here!!!! It’s the gas
that keeps your light bulbs from exploding, and we
all know that doesn’t help a hangover! It’s the noncorroding gas that’s chillin’ like a villain. A perfect
