Glow sticks are generally made of a fairly tough but flexible translucent outer casing of plastic, and an inner capsule of thin glass. The pair of chemicals that are responsible for the chemiluminescence are held inside and are kept separated until the glow stick is deployed. One of the chemicals is inside the glass capsule, and the other is "around" it inside the plastic case.
The idea is to get one of the chemicals needed to make the "glow" isolated inside the plastic case, and then allow the other chemical to be "around" the glass capsule and inside the plastic. That way when someone bends the plastic case or strikes it sharply on a hard surface, the glass capsule will break safely inside and release the chemical it held. The two chemicals then combine and the chemical reaction produces light.

Scientists have extracted the element neon from space and made into a "liquid neon" which they sell to neon glow stick factories, which is then put into the neon glow sticks.
No, phosphorus is NOT in glow sticks. Phosphorus is way to dangerous to be put in glow sticks. While a glow stick does have phosphorescence (meaning glow after illumination), it does not have phosphorus.
no acid is in glow sticks. Glow sticks usually have two chemicals that react with each other to create chemiluminescence, by giving off energy in the form of light
i dont know do you? i think so....... it seems like it.........yes, there is neon in glow sticks

Many are made in China.

Glow sticks are exothermic.Exothermic is when heat/energy is released. And that is exactly what glow sticks do. but the energy being released is in the form of light.
There is a guide for homemade glow sticks on wikihow. They have two ways listed, and also a video if that would help you more. This should show you how to make some glow sticks!

Glow sticks are a great way to enertain children of all ages. You can find a bulk order of these glow sticks at the website windycitynovelties.com/Glow-Sticks.
Glow sticks are a chemical light.
Glow sticks are fun to play with you just take them out of the package and then snap them until they glow. But if you break the glow sticks then they will get on your friends night gown that you borrowed and then they will glow too.
