Apart from symbols taken from their ancient names (like Ag for Silver - from Argentum, and K for potassium from Kalium) almost all other symbols are taken from the element's name - the first letter and, where necessary, another letter too - usually the next one. So C is Carbon, but when Calcium was discovered, it could not be give the symbol C as well, so it was given the symbol Ca. In the same way Hydrogen has the symbol H, but Helium cannot be given the symbol H too, so it has the symbol He, being the first two letters of its name. If there are two elements with the same two first letters (like magnesium and manganese) then another two letters are chosen instead - in this case the first and third letters rather than the first two - making the symbol of magnesium Mg, and that of manganese Mn. Similarly, for neon, N is the symbol for Nitrogen, and so Ne was chosen for Neon, being the first two letters of the name.
No. Neon, as a noble gas, does not react with ANYTHING.
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
Neon (Ne) belongs to Family 18, The Noble Gasses.
I dont think that Neon exists as a diatomic molecule, but I couldn't say for sure because the people on ask.com obviously don't know much about this. And neither does my chemistry book, or my mom.
Neon is a gas, and the concept of ductility applies to malleable solids. The 'melting point' of neon is about 25 Kelvin.
The symbol for neon comes from the first two letters of the element Neon.
The symbol for neon is Ne and it is the short form for representing the element neon.
Ne is the symbol for neon
Ne is the symbol for neon. There is no abbreviation for neon.
neons chemical symbol is NE Actually, ↑↑↑↑ There is no such thing as two capital symbols for any element. it's actually Ne

The symbol (Ne) is derived from the first two letters of the element neon.
Neon=Ne
Neon Ne is the chemical symbol for neon, a noble gass.
The chemical symbol of neon is Ne.
