Answer to Problem 10STP
Because octet of argon is complete. Therefore it is not likely to form compound.
Explanation of Solution
Every element tries to be stable by completing its octet by gain or loss of electrons.
But Argon has eight electrons in valence shell. It is a noble gas configuration. Therefore it doesn’t combine with other elements to form compound.
The presence of noble gas configuration is the reason why argon doesn’t form compound.
