Best Answer

Neon can be extracted from the air using fractional distillation. A container of air is changed to a liquid by temperature drop. The liquid air will warm up and as it warms, elements contained in the liquid will begin to change back to gases. They each have a unique temperature of vaporization. For neon it is -2246.046 degrees Celsius.

What is heluim and how do you know its in the Earth atmosphere?

Helium is a very light inert gas (only hydrogen is less dense than helium). It is possible to extract helium from the atmosphere by the process of fractional distillation (which is to say, by liquefying the atmosphere at very low temperatures and then gradually warming it up so that different gases will boil off at different boiling points) and the gas can be identified and studied in various ways, such as by heating it and observing its emission spectrum. The atmosphere contains 5.24 ppmv (0.000524%) Helium, making it the 6th most abundant gas.

Why the Earth's atmosphere do not have helium and Hydrogen?

The atmosphere does not have helium and hydrogen because the two gases are too light to be there. Instead they are in the exosphere, above the atmosphere.

Is helium found in the ocean?

Yes, but only in microscopic amounts.The only practical source of Helium is from the wells used to extract natural gas.add essentially all of the Earth's early Helium has long ago been blown away from the atmosphere. Because it is so light.Earth's present Helium is derived from the radioactive decay of some rocks, probably deep in the Earth's Core.
