Neon isotopes can be used in dating meteoric rock and to investigate the creation of some isotopes in space.

What is neon-20 and neon-22 called?

Neon-20 is used for the same things as any other natural isotopes of neon. E.G. it is used to make neon lights and helium-neon lasers. Neon-20 isotopic concentration may be important for some geological or volcanlogic studies.


Do neon atoms have common isotopes?

Yes Neon has isotopes from 16-34.


Which has more isotopes neon -10 or neon-12?

Neon has the atomic number 10 which means it has 10 protons, it cannot have 12. Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. There are three stable isotopes of neon.


What are neons isotopes?

Neon 16 through to Neon 34 have been synthesised/discovered. Neon 9 through to Neon 11 are the naturally occurring isotopes, all of which are stable. Neon 9 comprises over 90% of natural Neon in the air. Neon 15 is the most recently reported and has not been verified (as of may 2014). Other isotopes, both heavier and lighter, could be synthesised in the future, increasing the isotope count.


Is neon radioactive?

No radioactive isotopes of neon are ordinarily found in nature. All elements have radioactive synthetic isotopes, however.


What type of atom is neon gas made out of?

The natural isotopes of neon are Ne-20, Ne-21 and Ne-22.


How many sort of atoms has neon got?

We can generally say that there are 10 electrons in all neon atoms, regardless of which isotope we consider. Neon is a noble or inert gas. It doesn't want to react with any other atoms. That means it wants to hang onto all its electrons, neither wanting to loan or borrow any. Regardless of the number of neutrons in the nucleus of a neon atom, it's still neon, and will have 10 electrons under normal circumstances.


How many neutrons does neon have?

Neon has three stable isotopes, and they are 20Ne, 21Ne and 22Ne. They have 10, 11 and 12 neutrons, respectively. There are a number of other isotopes of neon, and they can be found by following the link below to the Wikipedia article on neon.To answer this correctly, it is necessary to know which isotope of neon is considered. Neon has three stable isotopes, and they are Ne-20, Ne-21 and Ne-22. They have 10, 11 and 12 neutrons, respectively.However, if isotope is not mentioned, then the answer will be 10 neutrons for Ne-20 as that is the most abundant isotope of neon.


Which 1st ten elements in the periodic table have isotopes?

All except neon and helium


What is the Latin name of neon?

neon red, orange, amber, pink,peach,salmon,green,aquamariene,turquois,sky blue,clear blue, 3500 white 4500white and 6500 white If you are talking about the element neon than the only color it comes in is a redish-orange. Even though some signs are called neon signs the only time they actually have neon in them is when they are redish-orange; they use other elements for the other colors.


How many protons nuetrons and electrons does neon have?

Every neon atom has 10 electrons. There are 10 and 12 neutrons in the neon-20 and neon-22 isotopes respectively.


What is the half-life of neon?

Neon is an inert gas, with three stable isotopes, Ne20, Ne21, and Ne22. In my (rather old) reference, there are unstable isotopes known from Ne17 through Ne19, and from Ne23 through Ne25. Neon is a well known gas through its use in advertising signs. In physics, it enjoys the position of being the first discovery of isotopes of stable elements. It is the second-lightest of the inert gases, and may be the least reactive element. Neon is a useful and cheap cryogenic refrigerant.
