Neon is one of the noble gases - helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon. Gas discharge lights, commonly called neon lights, will produce different colors depending on which gas is used. Neon itself produces an orange light. The Wikipedia entry ' Noble Gas' has a nice illustration near the end showing the colors produced by each of the above gases
Well, honey, those glowing signs are made using a noble gas called neon. It's like the diva of the periodic table, lighting up the town with its vibrant colors. So next time you see a flashy sign, just remember it's all thanks to neon strutting its stuff.
The common commercial use of the neon gas is to make bulbs. It is used because it is an inert gas. It does not react with the other elements.
Neon gas has a break-down voltage of about 70 volts. When the gas (in a neon voltage regulator tube) breaks down, the gas glows red. If more voltage is applied (within sensible limits) the voltage drop across the neon VR tube will still be 70 volts. This action by itself could result in a large current flowing in the gas tube and possibly to destroy it, so a resistor is placed in series with the neon VR tube to limit the current. And this is better for the neon tube as well. THUS a neon voltage regulator tube forms a reference voltage which can be used, with clever circuitry, to regulate any voltage. Other gas mixtures are used for other voltages. There are solid-state devices with similar properties.
No. Neon, as a noble gas, does not react with ANYTHING.
I don't know THAT'S WHY I'M LOOKING IT UP.
Neon gas lights consist of a sealed glass tube filled with neon gas. When an electric current is passed through the gas, it emits a bright red-orange glow. Neon gas lights are commonly used in signs and decorative lighting due to their colorful and eye-catching appearance.
Neon is the most used gas in neon lights but it also contains argon, Krypton, Xenon
Neon lamps and neon signs are NOT incandescent. The gas is not glowing because it is hot, but because it is ionized, and the current is passing through it. this is the web where I read about neon lights. createneon
Neon lights are usually with neon or other inert gases at a low pressure, where when voltage gets through they shine.
Yes, neon lights and fluorescent lights both create light through excited gas molecules emitting photons. However, neon lights use neon gas, whereas fluorescent lights use mercury vapor and phosphor coating to produce a wider spectrum of colors.

Neon Fluorescent tubes contain argon.
Neon gas lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting, making them a popular choice for signage and decorative lighting. They produce a distinct bright and colorful glow when an electric current passes through the neon gas within the tube.

As a gas inside luminous lights.
