Because its outer shell is full of electrons and cant attract anymore to become a negative ion.
It cant become a positive ion because it has 8 electron on its outer shell so it would be too hard for another atom to take it

∙ 11y agoNeon is a nonreactive Nobel gas that has a full valance shell with 8 electrons in it. It does not " need " to either give or receive electrons into it's valance shell to complete it's octet, so it is inert.

What is neon's ion formula?
Neon is a noble gas and does not form ions.
How many ions does neon have?
Neon is chemically inert. It normally does not form any ion
Why don't neon and argon form ions?
there outermost shells are completely filled.
What kinds of ions do acids and bases form in water?
What kind of ions does a base release in a water solution?
Why doesnt neon readily form an ionic bond?
That is because Neon is a noble gases and noble gases do not bond under normal circumstances. This is because they have a complete set of 8 valence electrons and it does not want to gain or lose any.
What is a neon ion?
Neon does not form ions
What is the ion that formed from neon?
neon does not form any ions.
What is neon's ion formula?
Neon is a noble gas and does not form ions.
How many ions does neon form?
4
What is the charge on stable ion of neon?
Neon does not form any compounds or ions.
How many ions does neon have?
Neon is chemically inert. It normally does not form any ion
What is the most common ion of neon?
That would be neon 20 which represents 90.48% of the natural abundance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon
Why don't neon and argon form ions?
there outermost shells are completely filled.
Can noble gases have either a positive or a negative charge?
None of them have a negative charge. Or a positive charge. They can be ionized by high voltages, as (for example) neon is in a neon sign. However, neon doesn't have a monopoly on that, all of them exhibit the same behavior.
Does neon form fluorine?
No because neon is a noble gas so it only forms with helium,Argon and Hydrogen and that doesnt make Fluorine
What noble gas is least likely to form an ion?
Noble gases' atoms have the least tendency to form ions.
What type of ion will neon form?
Neon never becomes an ion because ions are formed to fill the valence shell which in the case of neon is already done in bonding neon dose not become an ion it just has an expanded octetRead more: What_is_a_common_ion_for_neon
