How do helium argon and neon differ?

Helium, argon, and neon are noble gases with different atomic numbers: helium (2), neon (10), and argon (18). They vary in terms of their densities, boiling points, and chemical reactivity. Neon has the lowest boiling point and argon has the highest atomic weight among the three.


What are neon atoms?

Neon atoms are the atoms of the inert, colorless, and odorless gas neon. Neon freezes at -248.59°C, boils at -246.08°C, and has a specific gravity of 0.8999 at 0°C. Neon atoms have 10 electrons, 10 protons, and 10 neutrons. When excited by an electric current, neon glows red and is widely used in advertising signs. It is also used as a refrigerant in cryogenics.


Which subatomic particle identifies an atom of a particular element?

It's the count of one of the subatomic particles in the nucleus, the proton, that is significant in this regard. For example, an atom is hydrogen if and only if it has one proton in its nucleus. It is neon if and only if it has ten protons in its nucleus.


What element has 24 protons and 21 electrons?

An element's number of protons is the same as its atomic number. Thus, an atom with 21 protons has the atomic number 21. By looking up this element on the periodic table, one finds that it is scandium.


What does an isolated atom have as a net charge?

This is an oddly stated question but I would assume you are talking about elements such as neon, argon, xenon, krypton, i.e. noble gases which are monoatomic elements. They are inert gases that, under ordinary circumstances, do not react with other elements to form compounds.
