well i looked it up in chem. books and no book says that it has other functions than being unreactive

so wat did i say???

i think it was everything except filter funnel. because they wanted to note the time taken for bubbles to stop.

boombastic also said it was neither of the properties. Argon over helium is for efficiency. At high temp helium is not as effective as argon.At higher temp helium diffuses faster.

also another point
they are comparing between argon and helium..but if they were not comparing ofcourse being abundant is wrong
due to comparison..it is bcz its abundant...i even asked all my chem teachers

the properties mention were possesed by Argon n Helium BUT the SPECIFICALLY asked WHICH PROPERTY BELOW IS THE RESON for RGON to be used in the bulb !!
the propertiec which wer mention were neither n

no the q was why not helium is used in bulbs the only reason is that argon is abundant..they both have the same properties(unreactive)
so the only reason that argon is used rather than helium is that its abundant(cheaper to obtain)

they werent asking wat r the properties of argon in general...they were comparing the gases
y is argon used RATHER than helium...but if there were no comparison..ofcourse being abundant isnt the reason for being in the bulbs
but y is it used rather than helium then it is bcz its abundant

I think argon is used because it produces light of a particular colour.
