Neon is available to commercial users in the form of a compressed gas. It comes in heavy steel cylinders, and is marketed by companies like Praxair, Linde, Airgas and more suppliers. Welders and others use it, as do sign makers. Neon is an inert gas, and it is not found chemically combined with other atoms. That translates into the fact that it is floating around in air with the nitrogen, oxygen and other gases that make up the air around us.
To get neon and other gases from air, we perform a liquefaction process. This means turning the air into liquid. By compressing air and cooling it, and then allowing it to decompress, a large drop in temperature will occur. Repeating this will cause gases to beome liquid, and by fractional separation (based on the idea that different gases become liquids at different temperatures), we can recover nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases. This will include inert gases in air, of which neon is one.

What is the difference between an electronic sign and a neon sign?
Neon signs, by definition, must contain the element neon, which glows when an electric current passes through it (although the term is sometimes more broadly applied to signs containing other nobel gasses). An electric sign is simply any sign that requires electricity. The difference between an electronic sign and a neon sign is electric sign requires electricity to function. On the other hand, neon sign reflects other lights to work.
What is the regular configuration of a neon beer sign?
The configuration of a neon beer sign depends on the size of the sign. The standard neon beer sign uses less power than a 75 watt light bulb. The average neon beer sign uses 120 volt electric plugs and measure roughly 24 by 17 inches.
Is a glowing neon sign a physical change?
Yes, a glowing neon sign represents a physical change because the neon gas inside the sign undergoes a change in energy state to emit light. This change is reversible and does not alter the chemical composition of the neon gas.
