yes! it's a noble gas. All the noble gases (or group 8 elements) are stable, thus the 'Noble' part.
He - Helium (2)
Ne - Neon (10)
Ar - Argon (18)
Kr - Krypton (36)
Xe - Xenon (54)
Rn - Radon (86)
also see:
for a more detailed explanation of why they are stable, see below, from "Why are the noble gases inert?".
Noble gases are inert for a simple reason - Their outer electron shells are already full. Generally, the more empty the outer electron shell, the more reactive the element.
Helium has two(2) electrons, and is thus full, all the other noble elements has eight(8) electrons in it's outer electron shell, so they are also full.
*And for everyone's sake, krypton is not green, but colorless, and forms white crystals
when solid.

What are physical properties of neon?
The neon falls under the group of elements which are chemically inert. The outer valance shell of the neon is full with electrons avoiding its combination with any other element. The ideal electric configuration for the neon gas is 2,8,8 and these type of gases are also called as noble gases.
Is neon a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
Neon is an element, meaning it is not a mixture. Find Neon in the periodic table of elements.
Is neon a pure compound?
Neon is an element, not a compound. A compound requires more than one type of element in the molecule. Since Neon is monatomic (stable as a single atom - does not combine with other atoms to form molecules) there is no chance for it to be a compound.
How many electrons does the element neon?
The Element Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons.
Which element has 10 protons?
The element neon has 10 protons as its atomic number is 10.
Is Neon a element compound or mixture?
Neon is an element
Is neon a compound or an element?
Neon is an element.
Is neon gas in a neon sign a compound?
No. Neon is an element.
What is the natural color of neon the element?
neon is a colourless element
Element that contain the element neon?
Neon's physical appearance is it has a redish-orangish glow that comes out of the object. It is also very bright from the Ne+NeAR+NeH+HeNe.....
What element has the atomic number 10?
Neon is a none metal element. atomic number of it is 10.
Is neon gas in a neon sign an element?
Neon from a neon sign is an element. It has the symbol Ne and is in group 18 which is noble gasses.
Is Ne a compound or an element?
On the periodic table of the elements, Ne is the abbreviation for Neon. It is only one element, and is not a compound at all.
What are physical properties of neon?
The neon falls under the group of elements which are chemically inert. The outer valance shell of the neon is full with electrons avoiding its combination with any other element. The ideal electric configuration for the neon gas is 2,8,8 and these type of gases are also called as noble gases.
Is neon individual atoms of an element?
Yes. Neon is mono-atomic element
Is neon an element a compound a solution or a heterogeneous?
Neon is a noble gas element.
Is neon a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
Neon is an element, meaning it is not a mixture. Find Neon in the periodic table of elements.
