Neon was discovered by William Ramsay and Morris travers in 1898. They found it by freezing Argon, then evaporated it. They collected the gas that it left out. They then applied high voltage to the gas that was put into a vacuum tube. The result was a blaze of Crimson light.

.

Neon is made by commercially by fractional distillation of air.

Made in factories.

Physical properties: colorless, odorless.

Chemical properties: chemically in active and it's impossible to have neon react with any other element or compound.

Neon has no known stable compounds, but some of the compounds it has are halides, oxides, sulfides, and hydrides.

Chemical reactions: does not react with any other elements.

Industrial and Commercial uses: Advertising Signs, warning indicators, Geiger countertops, TV tubes, and liquid neon is used as a cryogenic refrigerant.
