Neon is an inert (rarely reacting) non-metal. One of the reasons why is because it is located on the furthest family(column) to the right, all of which are Noble gases (A group of inert gases) and a gas cannot be a metal (though when a gas is condensed it can become a metal, but that doesn't happen in this particular case).
