Neon is a noble gas and is inert (or generally unreactive). It is the tenth element on the Periodic Table. It is an atom.
A more in-depth scope of neon:
It has the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6. This gives Neon a full electron shell of the highest energy level. This makes neon exceptionally stable as a gas.
In nature, neon is a monoatomic gas. This means it is found usually not bonded with another neon atom like oxygen (O2) and other gases.
Neon's spectra that it gives off when excited (by electrons becoming more energized) is seen as a bright light. Its general color in a cathode tube is seen as bright red to reddish-orange. This makes it useful in neon signs (neon signs actually contain different inert gases responding to energized electrons giving off different colors).

What is the best description or air it is a compound it is an element is it a mixture or it is mainly oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Air is a mixture of several gases: nitrogen (78%) oxygen (21%), argon (1%) and carbon dioxide (0.04%) along with a variable amount of water vapor and minor other gases such as neon, helium and others.
What element is used bright flashing advertising signs?
Neon mostly.
Explain why air is a mixture not a compound?
Air is a mixture because it is easily separated into its component gases. If it was a compound you would have to perform complex operations like electrolysis to break the bonds between atoms in the compound...but with air, all you need do is cool the air enough to cause the gases to condense.
What color is the element of neon?
Neon is a colorless, transparent gas.
Can Chlorine and Neon form a compound?
no
Is Neon a element compound or mixture?
Neon is an element
Is neon gas In a light an element compound or mixture?
Neon (Ne) is a chemical element.
Is neon a compound or an element?
Neon is an element.
What compound is neon?
Neon (Ne) is an element, not a compound.
Is neon mixture?
Neon is not a mixture. It is a pure element, a gas.
Is neon one of the three element are often found in organic compound?
No, neon is an element on the periodic table located in group 18 of the periodic table, no element can be an organic on its own, although carbon is the basis of organic life. but your question is also flawed because a molecule is made up of a group atoms, not just one.
Is neon gas in a neon sign a compound?
No. Neon is an element.
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.
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.
Is neon a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
Neon is an element, meaning it is not a mixture. Find Neon in the periodic table of elements.
Is neon gas in the neon sign a compound?
NO!!! #1 neon is a Noble gas and does not react. #2 if any other atoms present in the neon gas, either combined or in a mixture, the electric arc to make the neon gas glow would not occur.
Is Ne a compound or element?
Neon is an element.
