The video introduces argon, a noble gas with the atomic number 18, known for its non-reactive nature. It was first isolated by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay. Argon is used in high-temperature industrial processes, such as welding and graphite furnaces, due to its low thermal conductivity. In the poultry industry, argon is used to humanely suffocate birds and as a preservative in packaging to prevent oxidation. Despite being non-toxic, argon can be dangerous as it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it hard to detect. Proper storage is crucial to avoid suffocation risks.
