Neon is one of the inert (or noble) gases. For most intents it doesn't react with anything, though it can be forced to react with fluorine to produce neon-fluoride at high temperatures.

The reason it is inert (or noble) is because the outer (or valence) shell of electrons is full, and there are no positions available to share with other atoms. The other noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They comprise the far left column of the periodic table
