The element Neon is a noble gas to the right of the zigzag line on the periodic table discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris M. Travers.
It is not an isotope because it has the same number of protons and neutrons. Neon has 10 protons, neutrons, and electrons, and two rings.
Sir William Ramsay and his student, Morris M. Travers, first discovered the element Neon. They discovered it in 1898 in London, England.
Neon was discovered during the study of liquefied air when Ramsay cooled a sample of the atmosphere until it became liquid. Then, he boiled the liquid and captured the gases as it boiled. He discovered three gases from this experiment: krypton, xenon, and neon.
Neon does not react with any other elements because it is a noble gas, meaning that it is unreactive.
It is an extremely inert gas, so it is unknown if it can form any true compounds. However, it was found that Neon might be able to produce a compound in reaction with fluorine and possibly also with helium, to create gas lasers.
Neon is commonly found in the air, mostly in the atmosphere, and very rarely found on earth.
It has many common uses, but the most popular is for neon lights or signs, used to draw attention.
Neon is also used for high-voltage indicators, gas discharge lightning arrestors, television tubes, and was meter tubes.
In conclusion, Neon was first discovered by Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist and an English chemist, Morris M. Travers.
It was discovered during the study of liquefied air, along with krypton and xenon.
It is used for many different things, but most commonly for neon lights or signs.
