An atom of argon in the ground state tends not to bond with an atom of a different element because the argon atom has
(1) more protons than neutrons
(2) more neutrons than protons
(3) a total of two valence electrons
(4) a total of eight valence electrons

The answer is (4) a total of eight valence electrons. The valence electrons are defined as electrons that are mostly like to be involved in a chemical reaction. So the Argon is stable because the 8 valence electrons is already a stable state.
