Neon is obtained by super cooling the air and separated from the other gases by fractional distillation. Natural neon is a mixture of three isotopes. Six other unstable isotopes are known.
It is a very inert (non-reactive) element; however, it is said to form a compound with fluorine. It is still questionable if true compounds of neon exist, but evidence is mounting in favor of their existence. The following ions are known from optical and mass spectrometric studies: Ne+, (NeAr)+, (NeH)+, and (HeNe+). Neon also forms an unstable hydrate.

I looked at the questions you're asked. You need to do your own homework. Having other people do your work for you will only make school harder in the long run.
