My dear friend.
The answer to your question is yes. Neon is one of the so called lighter than air gases. It's lift capacity is sort of the same capacity as hot air gives. The only problem about it is the high cost of neon gas, plus like any other gas it will leak out after a while through the pores of the balloon's walls.
Seems like it's not worth it to use neon gas in a balloon, although it will float nonetheless.

∙ 11y agoIt would behave similarly to a balloon filled with helium or hydrogen. Neon is one of the heavier float gases and would rise slower than helium. Just as a comparison has a density of .89 grams per liter compared to helium's density of .1785 grams per liter. Neon isn't very practical to put in a balloon as it is much rarer, but it is possible.

Does a balloon float or sink on water and why?
a balloon float on water
Why does a balloon filled with water neither sink or float and it just drifts and literally becomes one with the water?
The density of water molecules is the same inside the balloon as on the outside.
Will chlorine float or sink in water?
Trick question,it will dissolve
Why don't people sink in water?
If you breathe in before going under water then you float beacuse you are filled with light air. Otherwise, if you blow out while going under then you sink. All of the air is expelled out of you body. For example: if a balloon is aired up it will float when it pops its will sink if all of the air is out.
Does a weighted air filled balloon with the same density as water float or sink?
Neither, it just stays submerged, provided its density stays the same as the water around.
Will balloon filled with water sink in oil?
Water is denser than oil, so yes, it will sink. That is true whether the water is inside a balloon or not.
How subs float and sink?
subs have empty tanks in them. this empty tanks are filled with water when the subs need to sink and emptied when the subs need to float.
Why does a submarine can sink and float in water?
because the submarine has the water tank.when the tank is filled then submarine sink in the water.and when the tank is empty then submarine float in water.
Why don't sulfur hexafluoride balloons float?
The air is too strong, which makes the balloon sink, along with the weight of the balloon's material.
Why does helium rise and regular air sink?
A balloon filled with helium floats and a balloon filled with regular air falls to the ground because helium has less density than air so the air causes the balloon to sink because there are more molecules in it. The helium has less molecules in it so the balloon rises.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
How is the average density of a heluim balloon be changed to make it rise float at a constant level and sink?
you would have to deacrease the density. By doing so, you can float. I don't know bout constant level, but because the air in the balloon is more dense than outside air, the balloon will sink in air. p.s. i know you s.j.v students are probably reading this :)
