What is the history of neon?
One of the noble gases, neon is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and completely nonreactive. When neon is under low pressure, it glows a bright orange-red if an electric current is passed through it. Neon was discovered in 1898, and since the 1920s is has been used in luminous tubes and bulbs.
Do noble gases form compounds with very bright colors?
The Noble Gases are colourless, monatomic elements. When they are excited electrically, each gas exhibits a distinctive set of spectral lines, characteristic of that element. Helium has five lines in the visible spectrum dominated by yellow; Neon has quite a few lines in the visible spectrum but appears orange to red; Argon also appears orange to red and Krypton appears more green and Xenon is blue - green.
Why do your lights keep dimming one minute they'll be bright and then they dim?
Many many reasons. Too much load in the house is a common reason; a crummy power company, bad wiring in the home.

Is neon a colored gas?
Neon is colorless gas ,however, under low pressure ,it glows a bright orange-red if an electric current is passed through it.
Is neon shiny?
Neon is a gas- when electric current is passed through neon, it glows (think of an electric sign at a business) The term neon has been used to describe bright, vibrant colors that are eye popping.

Does neon glow in the dark?
Neon does not glow in the dark but it does glow in black light or UV light. Because neon colors are so bright when illuminated with light, it gives the appearance that neon colors would glow in the dark.No, it is a colourless gas but it will glow red if you pass an electrical current through it.Neon is also another way of describing brightly coloured things, but they don't glow in the dark either.

When you take the plug out of the electric socket there is a bright white flash. Is this dangerous and what is the problem?
When you take the plug out of the electric socket the device is still operating and high current flow is still flowing to the load. The white flash is the current flowing through the circuit and then through an air gap you create when removing the plug. The inherent tendency of current in a circuit is to keep flowing once it has started even through the air until the gap is wide enough and resistance high enough to stop the flow. This is hard on the plug and the receptacle as pitting occurs on the plug and receptacles mating surfaces. To cure this problem shut the device off with its own built in switch before disconnecting the device from the power source.
How do you plan an experiment to test whether a substance is a conductor?
1. Run a wire from a battery to a lightbulb or something that measures electric current. 2. Connect a wire to the other part of the lightbulb/electric current measuring thing. 3. Connect a wire to the other part of the battery. 4. Connect the unused ends of the wires to the test substance or to each other for the control. If the lightbulb is bright or if the electric current measuring thing gives a similar result to the control, then the substance is a good conductor.
What are the chemical properties of neon?
Neon is an inert element that is stable. Oxygen will not react with Neon in typical conditions. Neon is chemically inactive. Under low pressure, it glows a bright orange-red if an electric current is passed through it. Chemists have yet to prepare compounds of neon. Neon is produced by the fractionation of air.
