Best Answer

Inert gases are noble gases. I assume that you have heard of Neon Lights? Ne (neon) is a noble gas. When energy (heat) is added to the element then the valance electrons move up to the excited state, or a higher principal energy level. It emits red light when the electrons return to the ground state.

Why do fluorescent lights make you sick?

Fluorescent lights have that effect on many people, including myself. There are many reasons for this. For example, fluorescent lights can trigger serious migraines in some people, and can provoke nausea, dizziness, and fatigue, to name a few symptoms. There is also something called photophobia which refers to general intolerance of bright lights. I suggest seeing a doctor.
