What is the second noble gas?

Answer 1

The seventh noble gas is ununoctium, though it is also called eka-radon or simply element 118. It is a synthetic element that scientists created in the lab. It is radioactive and unstable, so it degrades quickly- within minutes. Because of this, its properties have not been observed extensively. However, some scientists theorize that though ununoctium is in Group 18 of the Periodic Table-- the group for noble gases-- it may not in fact be a noble gas. Calculations indicate that this element may be a solid at room temperature.

Answer 2

The second noble gas is Neon (Ne). The noble gases are chemical elements with similar properties: they are odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with low chemical reactivity except under particular conditions. Neon has about 2/3 the density of air, it is chemically inert, and it forms no uncharged chemical copounds. It has a bright orange-red glow when placed in a high voltage electric field, which is why it is used in glow lamps or advertising signs.

Answer 3

Neon

Answer 4

(Ar) Argon
