Neon is a noble gas and is inert (or generally unreactive). It is the tenth element on the Periodic Table. It is an atom.


A more in-depth scope of neon:


It has the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6. This gives Neon a full electron shell of the highest energy level. This makes neon exceptionally stable as a gas.


In nature, neon is a monoatomic gas. This means it is found usually not bonded with another neon atom like oxygen (O2) and other gases.


Neon's spectra that it gives off when excited (by electrons becoming more energized) is seen as a bright light. Its general color in a cathode tube is seen as bright red to reddish-orange. This makes it useful in neon signs (neon signs actually contain different inert gases responding to energized electrons giving off different colors).
