Tales from the Prep Room: Argon Ice

The Ri’s very own demo technician, Andrew Marmery experiments with the element Argon in the Ri Prep Room. At room temperature Argon is an inert gas, requiring temperatures of below -189.3 degrees celcius to freeze into a solid. The temperature range at which Argon exists as a liquid is extremely narrow (three/ four degress). As it begins to melt under room temperature it passes into its gas state almost instaneously.
