NEON
The term neon was derived from the Greek word 'neos', meaning
new.Neon was discovered by a Scottish chemist named Sir William
Ramsay and an English chemist named Morris M. Travers. Not long after
they discovered the element krypton in 1898. Just like krypton, neon was
discovered through the study of liquefied air. Even though neon is the
fourth most plentiful
element in the universe
only 0.0018% of the Earth’s
atmosphere is neon.

The atomic mass of neon is
about 20.18g, the atomic
number of neon is 10, and
the symbol for neon is Ne.

There 8 valence electrons
in a neutral atom of neon

Neon is located in group
"The noble gases", which is found on the far right hand side of periodic
table. All noble gases are related to neon. This includes helium, neon,
argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

Neon is commonly found in the atmosphere because it is very rare to find
on the Earth.

Neon is commonly used in fluorescent signs, glow lamps, and plasma
studies. By neon being odorless, colorless and a noble gas it’s good to be
used in these objects and materials.

Neon is a noble gas and therefore can’t form any compounds.
Neon was discovered through the study of liquefied air and it was
identified by a Scottish chemist named Sir William Ramsay and an English
chemist named Morris M. Travers.

Although neon is not toxic, it can cause you to not be able to take in
oxygen
