Why does the toxicity of chlorine and iodine make halogens useful?

How is neon created?

Neon is created in stars by the fusion of a helium nucleus with an oxygen nucleus. On Earth, neon is not "created". It's naturally present in the atmosphere in very small quantities, and it can be extracted by liquifying air and then using fractional distillation to separate the neon from the remainder.

What is the advantage of simple distillation to fractional distillation?

Whether it is better to use fractional or simple distillation depends on the liquids being separated and on the boiling points of the liquids. When there is a great difference between the boiling points of the liquids, simple distillation may be a better option. Likewise, if there is a small difference in boiling points, then fractional distillation is used.

Aluminium is paramagnetic, meaning it is very weaklyattracted (pulled) by a magnetic field.This attraction is far too small to detect without sensitive laboratory equipment. In practical, everyday terms, it is essentially neither pushed nor pulled by a magnet to any noticeable degree.
