Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is asking for an element that is an almost completely nonreactive nonmetal, similar to argon.
Recall that argon is a noble gas, which means it is in Group 18 of the periodic table and is known for its very low chemical reactivity due to having a full valence electron shell.
Identify which of the given elements belong to the noble gases group: Neon, Sulfur, Oxygen, and Chlorine.
Recognize that Neon is a noble gas like Argon, with a full outer electron shell, making it very stable and nonreactive.
Conclude that Neon is the element among the options that is almost completely nonreactive and similar to Argon.
