Neon comes from the greek word “neos” which means “new”. Neon was accidently discovered in 1898.
Scientists Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Travers were trying to liquid argon. They wanted to get a gas just barely lighter than kryton. that experiment didn’t turn out. So they did the experiment a second time. This time they used solid argon and let it evaporate under reduced pressure. What they got was unexpected. they had caught some “red gas” in a container during the experiment and were amazed by the red glow. Mr. Ramsay called the gas neon.
Neon is the fifth most abundant element in the world. We use the gas to make lasers and signs. Neon is able to be used in a tube for about 20 years. Then in is not reuseable. On the periodic table neon is in the
