Neon, obviously. Less obviously: the only true neon lights are those that give off an orange-red glow. Other colors result from other gases; for example, argon is used to give a blue color. Nowadays most "neon" lamps are really Mercury vapor fluorescent lamps with tinted glass providing the color. A real neon light is almost always clear when turned off; the mercury vapor ones have a sort of cloudy appearance like other fluorescent bulbs.
Although they are called "Neon lights," they can actually contain a variety of noble gases such as neon, argon, and xenon. The different gases used will determine the color emitted by the light.
Neon is a noble gas.
Neon is a gas. It does not contain anything as it is an element.
The noble gas most commonly used in signs is neon. Neon gas is used to produce bright, vibrant colors in neon signs when an electric current passes through it.
Neon is not the first noble gas; helium is.
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 lights are usually with neon or other inert gases at a low pressure, where when voltage gets through they shine.
It is somthing used for lights in shops. And I'm personally trying to get this for my homework. If Jack Banfield's reading dis, this is Harry! :D

Yes, argon is commonly used in neon lights along with a small amount of neon gas. When an electric current passes through the argon and neon gases inside the tube, it excites their atoms and produces the characteristic bright glow associated with neon lights.

The element you are referring to is neon. Neon is a noble gas known for being colorless, odorless, and extremely unreactive. It is commonly used in electric lights and neon signs due to its ability to produce a bright red-orange glow when electrified.
