Mixing argon and neon is generally considered an endothermic process. This is because the gases do not react chemically; instead, energy is absorbed to overcome the forces between the gas molecules as they mix. The overall effect is that the system absorbs heat from the surroundings, resulting in a slight cooling effect.
Diffusion
Helium, neon, and argon are the three lightest members of the noble gases.
The nearest noble gas to neon is argon. Neon is located in Group 18 of the periodic table, and argon is the next element down in the same group. Neon has an atomic number of 10, while argon has an atomic number of 18.

A mixture of two gases, which some would call a solution of one of the gases in the other.
Neon and argon are two distinct elements.
The chemical symbols of neon and argon are Ne and Ar.
Argon is larger than neon because it has more electrons and a larger atomic radius.
Diffusion
Argon has a higher melting point than Neon. Neon melts at -248.6 degrees Celsius, whereas Argon melts at -189.4 degrees Celsius.
Helium, neon, and argon are the three lightest members of the noble gases.
Argon
No. Neon atoms and Argon atoms have different atomic numbers. Which means they have different numbers of protons.
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Since argon is heavier than neon (molar mass of 40 g/mol compared to 20 g/mol), argon will diffuse more slowly than neon.
Neon is smaller.
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.
