Argon.
Concept Introduction:
In periodic table we classify elements as metal, nonmetal and metalloid.
Metals are characterized by low ionization potential. They can easily lose electrons and get oxidized.
Non metals are characterized by negative electron gain enthalpy or less more tendencies to gain electron than to lose electron. So they easily get reduced as compared to metals.
Metalloids have properties in between metals and non metals.
Answer to Problem 41P
Argon: non metal.
Explanation of Solution
The metallic property is related to the tendency to lose electrons.
Lower the ionization potential of an element more the tendency to lose electron and hence more metallic character.
On moving down the group the size increases, effective nuclear charge decreases hence the ionization potential decreases, metallic character increases.
Along period, generally size decreases, effective nuclear charge increases hence the ionization potential increases, metallic character decreases.
Argon: It is a non metal and it cannot lose electron easily.
