Argon

Abundance: 1.6% (atmosphere)

Argon is the third most abundant element in the martian atmosphere. It is an oderless, colorless nobel gas. Like the other nobel gasses, it is chemically inert. As such, it has many uses in industry. Argon is easily produced from the atmosphere through distillation of liquified air.
