Neon is not mined. It is (like all the nobel gasses except helium and radon) extracted from air by cryogenic fractional liquefaction.
Helium is too light to accumulate in the atmosphere, it is separated from natural gas in certain gas fields where salt domes capture the gasses and there are uranium deposits nearby (alpha particles from uranium decay are helium nuclei). Example Texas oil & gas fields.
Radon can be collected as a gas emitted from uranium ores, but its longest halflife of 23 minutes makes it rather useless.
Neon is obtained through fractional distillation of liquefied air, along with other noble gases. The air is cooled and compressed to separate its components based on their boiling points, with neon gas being collected as it liquefies at a lower temperature than the other gases in air.
yeah, but I don't know where. I think in factories or somthing like that.
Yes, the Fluorite mineral is an example, is calcium fluoride. There is a lot here in Mexico. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorite

How many electrons does the element neon?
The Element Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons.
Which element has 10 protons?
The element neon has 10 protons as its atomic number is 10.
Is neon a pure compound?
Neon is an element, not a compound. A compound requires more than one type of element in the molecule. Since Neon is monatomic (stable as a single atom - does not combine with other atoms to form molecules) there is no chance for it to be a compound.
What element used to be mined in the peninsula of Michigan?
copper
Does neon only have one sort of atom?
Yes, neon is a chemical element with the atomic number 10, meaning that its nucleus contains 10 protons. Neon is a noble gas consisting of individual neon atoms.
When neon is mined does it affect the Earth?
Neon is a gas and cannot be mined from the earth.
Where is neon mined?
Neon is a gas so it actually can not be mined. It is actually obtained by fractional distillation of Air.
Is Neon a element compound or mixture?
Neon is an element
Is neon a compound or an element?
Neon is an element.
What is the natural color of neon the element?
neon is a colourless element
How many electrons does the element neon?
The Element Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons.
If it was mined would it be an ore or a native element?
Ore is mined
Is the element krypton mined?
no
Is neon gas in a neon sign an element?
Neon from a neon sign is an element. It has the symbol Ne and is in group 18 which is noble gasses.
Is Ne a compound or an element?
On the periodic table of the elements, Ne is the abbreviation for Neon. It is only one element, and is not a compound at all.
What element has the atomic number 10?
The element with atomic number 10 is neon. Neon is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive under normal conditions.
Is neon individual atoms of an element?
Yes. Neon is mono-atomic element
