Argon (₁₈Ar) has 26 knownisotopes, from²⁹Ar to⁵⁴Ar, of which three arestable (³⁶Ar,³⁸Ar, and⁴⁰Ar). On Earth,⁴⁰Ar makes up 99.6% of natural argon. The longest-lived radioactive isotopes are³⁹Ar with a half-life of 268 years,⁴²Ar with a half-life of 32.9 years, and³⁷Ar with a half-life of 35.04 days. All other isotopes have half-lives of less than two hours, and most less than one minute.

The naturally occurring⁴⁰K, with ahalf-life of 1.248×10⁹ years, decays to stable⁴⁰Ar byelectron capture (10.72%) and bypositron emission (0.001%), and also to stable⁴⁰Ca viabeta decay (89.28%). These properties and ratios are used to determine the age ofrocks throughpotassium–argon dating.^[4]

Despite the trapping of⁴⁰Ar in many rocks, it can be released by melting, grinding, and diffusion. Almost all argon in the Earth's atmosphere is the product of⁴⁰K decay, since 99.6% of Earth's atmospheric argon is⁴⁰Ar, whereas in the Sun and presumably in primordial star-forming clouds, argon consists of < 15%³⁸Ar and mostly (85%)³⁶Ar. Similarly, the ratio of the isotopes³⁶Ar:³⁸Ar:⁴⁰Ar in the atmospheres of theouter planets is measured to be 8400:1600:1.^[5]

In the Earth'satmosphere, radioactive³⁹Ar (half-life 268(8) years) is made bycosmic ray activity, primarily from⁴⁰Ar. In the subsurface environment, it is also produced throughneutron capture by³⁹>K oralpha emission bycalcium. The content of³⁹Ar in natural argon is measured to be of (8.0±0.6)×10⁻¹⁶ g/g, or (1.01±0.08) Bq/kg of^{36, 38, 40}Ar.^[6] The content of⁴²Ar (half-life 33 years) in the Earth's atmosphere is lower than 6×10⁻²¹ parts per part of^{36, 38, 40}Ar.^[7] Many endeavors require argon depleted in thecosmogenic isotopes, known as depleted argon.^[8] Lighter radioactive isotopes can decay to different elements (usuallychlorine) while heavier ones decay topotassium.

³⁶Ar, in the form ofargon hydride, was detected in theCrab Nebula supernova remnant during 2013.^[9]^[10] This was the first time anoble molecule was detected inouter space.^[9]^[10]

³⁷Ar is a synthetic radionuclide that is created vianeutron capture of⁴⁰Ca followed byalpha particle emission, as a result of subsurfacenuclear explosions. It has a half-life of 35 days.^[4]
