Is neon always in compounds or does it occur naturally in its elemental form?

Neon is essentially inert and does not form compounds in the ordinary sense. As you suggest it occurs in it elemental form and is recovered from air. Please see the link.

Why does sodium not occur naturally in earth?
Sodium does occur naturally in the earth. However it is a very reactive metal and only occurs as compounds of sodium (e.g. sea salt NaCl).
Is the element sulfur a solid or a liquid or a gas in the human body?
Sulfur does not occur in elemental form in the human body. Instead, sulfur is present in various compounds, which are primarily in solid or dissolved state.
Does Thallium occur naturally?
Thallium, discovered in 1861, does occur naturally, but not in its pure form.
Does oxygen occur as a diatomic molecule in elemental form?
:O:=:O:Standard form of oxygen. It's elemental and gaseous form. O2
Which element is so active chemically that is occurs naturally only in compounds?
The elements that natural occur in a bond is convered by the HOBrFINCl rule, with some exceptions. These non-metals naturally exist in compounds: H2 O2 Br2 F2 I2 N2 Cl2 as well as O3 P4 S8 there is no metals that exist in pairs or in compounds naturally without a chemical reaction.
Why is sodium naturally found in form of compound?
Sodium is an extremely reactive element, meaning that it is unstable in its elemental form and stable in compounds. It will react spontaneously with oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and even nitrogen. As a result, it does not naturally occur in elemental form.
Does barium occur naturally?
Not in elemental form: it is too reactive.
Does iron occur naturally or in compounds?
NO!!! It does not occur naturally. However, its mineral ores are very common. e.g. Haematite, Magnetite.
Is chlorine naturally occurring?
Under standard temperature and pressure, elemental fluorine is a yellowish gas. However, fluorine is exceedingly reactive, and thus in nature it is always found bound to other elements, commonly in salts as the fluoride ion (F-).
What minerals that occur as element instead of compounds?
Elemental, as in "elemental copper" as opposed to copper ore. It's POSSIBLE that the word you're looking for might be "noble" though some metals that are not noble metals can occasionally be found in elemental form: iron meteorites, for example.
Can noble gases form compounds that occur naturally in the environment?
No, noble gas compounds can only be produced artificially.
Is bismuth natural?
Yes, bismuth in some form is naturally occurring. It may or may not occur in elemental form.
Is germanium formed naturally?
Germanium is a naturally occurring element, but does not occur in pure form on the Earth (only in compounds).
This mineral is liquid at room temperature its best known use is in thermometers?
waterANS2:By definition, no substance fits that definition because a mineral is naturally occurring and solid at room temperature. What the question seems to be fishing for is elemental mercury. Elemental mercury does not occur naturally.
What are the first Compounds found on primitive earth?
Please be more specific. Found by whom? or do you mean what were the first compounds to occur on earth naturally?
Is magnesium an igneous rock?
No. Magnesium is not a rock; it is a metallic element. It is present in some of the minerals found in igneous rocks. It does not occur naturally in its elemental form.
Why does sodium not occur naturally in earth?
Sodium does occur naturally in the earth. However it is a very reactive metal and only occurs as compounds of sodium (e.g. sea salt NaCl).
