Will neon gain or lose electrons?

it doesn't do either. its in Group 8, so its stable and it realistically won't form ions.

That would be neon 20 which represents 90.48% of the natural abundance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon


How can ions be described?

Ions are atoms that have lost or gained electrons. The number of protons in an atom remains unchanged but with loss or gain of electrons the charges becomes unbalanced, because the number of electrons is NOT equal to the number of protons. Ions can be divided into two viz. Cations ( positively charged) and Anions ( negatively charhed(. Here are some examples. Sodium atom has 11 protons(+) and 11 electrons(-). Sodium cation has 11 protons(+) and 10 electrons(-) If we do a little sum (+)11 - 10 = (+)1 This is indicated on the sodium cation as Na(s) = Na^(+) + e^(-) Similarly Calcium atom has 20 protons(+) and 20 electrons(-). Calcium cation has 20 protons(+) and 18 electrons(-) If we do a little sum (+)20 - 18 = (+)2 This is indicated on the calcium cation as Ca(s) = Ca^(2+) + 2e^(-) Conversely Chlorineatom has 17 protons(+) and 17 electrons(-). Chloride anion has 17 protons(+) and 18 electrons(-) If we do a little sum (+)17 - 18 = (-)1 This is indicated on the chloride anion as Cl(g) = Cl^(-) - e^(-) Similrly Oxygen atom has 8 protons(+) and 8 electrons(-). Oxide anion has 8 protons(+) and 10 electrons(-) If we do a little sum (+)8 - 10 = (-)2 This is indicated on the chloride anion as O(g) = O(2-) - 2e^(-) So ions are charged atoms. Or Ions have a charge, Atoms have no charge. Chemically, charged atoms are no longer atoms but IONS.

What is the gas neon oder?

Neon is non reactive, therefore it lacks the spare ions that would give it an odour.
