I choose Neon because of the many things that it can be used for such as cryogenics, lasers and neon signs. Also because neon is so rare compared to other elements
Neon was discovered or isolated in 1898 by two chemist named Ramsay and Travers along with krypton and xenon Neon got its name from the Greek word neos which means new Neon is important for lighting,signs,lasers and refrigeration Neon is the fifth most abundant element in the universe but is very rare on Earth(about 0.0018%) of the earth atmosphere its symbol is Ne its atomic number is 10,atomic mass number is 20.1797 atomic mass unit it has 10 protons,neutrons and electrons its melting point is -248.6℃ and boiling point is-246.1℃ neon is part of the noble gas family and it's the 10th element in the periodic table it has 3 stable isotopes Ne-20,Ne-21 and Ne-22 …show more content…
At room temperature neon is state of matter is gas some of the characteristics of gas is that it has no fixed shape or volume lower and they have a lower density than other states of matter, they are easy to compress they expand to fill their containers and they occupy more space than other states of matters. A physical property of neon is that it glows when a high electrical voltage is passed through it one chemical property about neon is that neon does not form any compounds with other substances by liquefying and separating air neon goes through a process of fractional distillation then the purified neon it's stored in a metal gas cylinder under pressure as a liquid neon has no biological
