i need 5 USES of the element Neon and 5 Compounds that contain Neon?

Question

i need 5 USES of the element Neon and 5 Compounds that contain Neon. i have a science project due tomaro so i need this

Answer 1

I'm afraid I can think of only one definite use for neon and that is in electric discharge tubes, e.g. in pilot lights, mains testers and neon advertising signs. It might also be used in some types of lasers - I'm not too sure about that.

Five compounds that contain neon ! Is this a trick question ? Neon is a noble gas and therefore does not form compounds. While it is true that xenon and, to a very limited extent, krypton, do form compounds, I have never heard of a compound of neon. It might form clathrates at low temperature and high pressure, but these are not true compounds.

Answer 2

Neon and the other noble gases do not normally form compounds with other elements. Neon is obtained for commercial purposes from air by the process of fractional distillation. In this process, air is cooled until it liquefies, and then it is gradually allowed to warm. The tiny fraction of the air that boils off at -246.08°C is neon, which is then collected. Some minerals also contain tiny amounts of trapped neon gas.
ITS USES:
advertisement signs
vacuum tubes
high-voltage indicators
lightning arrestors
wave meter tubes
television tubes
Neon and helium are used to make a type of gas laser
Liquefied neon is commercially used as a cryogenic refrigerant in applications not requiring the lower temperature range attainable with more expensive liquid helium refrigeration.

Answer 3

* high-voltage indicators
* lightning arrestors
* wave meter tubes
* Neon and helium are used to make a type of gas laser
* Liquefied neon is commercially used as a cryogenic refrigerant in applications not requiring the lower temperature range attainable with more expensive liquid helium refrigeration.

You stump me on compounds. It is a noble gas, maybe fluorine.

Found this...

Neon is a very inert element, however, it has been reported 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 ions, Ne+, (NeAr)+, (NeH)+, and (HeNe+) are known from optical and mass spectrometric studies. Neon also forms an unstable hydrate.

Answer 5

Hydrogen and Oxygen make up water and your seventy percent water so that's everyday. Also you breathe Oxygen fromt he air which is actually mostly Nitrogen. There's also Cabon Dioxide in the air which animals and people exale. So there's Carbon. You're also made of Carbon. All organic material contains Carbon. Your bones are made of Calcium which you replenish by drinking milk. Other minerals that are elements which are in food include Iron, Zinc and Sulfur. Sulfur is found in matches. Tungsten is the filiment in most incandecent light bulbs. Sodium and Chlorine make up table salt. planes trains and automobiles are made of steel and Aluminum. Steel gives you iron and carbon again. Concrete things are made partially of sand so there's Silicone. That's also in the chips in your computer. If you play baseball you might have a Titanium bat. Penny's are made of copper. Other coins are made of Silver or Gold. CSomewhere you've been is powered by nuclear power so there's Uranium. The next time you go driving watch the signs in buildings and you'll probably see a Neon sign. Helium balloons are fun.
