Solution

Nitrogen Argon
Atomic number of nitrogen is 7. Atomic number of argon is 18
Nitrogen makes up 78% of our atmosphere. Argon makes up 0.93% of our atmosphere.
Nitrogen is less denser than argon. Argon is more denser than nitrogen.
Nitrogen is used for fertilizer manufacturing, explosives manufacturing, sterilization of containers in food processing plants. Argon is used for neon lighting, radioactive dating, prevents rusting/corrosion during metal fabrication.
