Can anybody give me 5 simple chemical properties of Neon?

Question

Im having trouble finding them when its for my project. Help me out and send something quick.

Answer 1

Even though neon is for most practical purposes an inert element, it can form an exotic compound with fluorine in the laboratory. It is not known for certain if this or any neon compound exists naturally but some evidence suggests that this may be true. The ions, Ne+, (NeAr)+, (NeH)+, and (HeNe+) are have also been observed from optical and mass spectrometric research. In addition, neon forms an unstable hydrate.

Neon is inert because it has eight electrons circling in its
outer shell. Atoms are happy when they have full outer shells with eight electrons. Unhappy atoms join together so that they each have eight electrons in their outside shells. All of the Noble gases are happy and have full outer shells. You might also say neon is HAPPY all by itself because it has eight electrons circling its outer shell (Bloomfield, 1980).
"Valence" is the concept of Octet Satisfaction or "Happiness"
with full outer electron shells in chemistry.
Neon's boiling temperature is -245 degrees celcious. It's melting temperature is -248 degrees celcious. Neon's density is about 0.9 grams per liter. This means that a whole one-liter pop bottle of neon would weigh less than one gram. It is about 10 parts per million in the atmosphere. Because neon is happy, it is inert. That is, it forms no compounds (Hodgeman & Holmes, 1941).
Neon is used in neon lights that hang in most store windows.
When the electricity goes through the neon gas it turns red-orange. Other gases such as sodium and argon are used to make "neon" signs with different colors.

Answer 2

1. It explodes violently, worse than Hydrogen
2. It only glows at very, very cold temperatures (neon signs are supercooled)
3. It combines spontaneously with water to produce "Neon Water", which is what's in fireflies
4. A balloon full of neon will assume a cube shape
5. Be careful about doing your homework by asking the general public. Most people don't know what the Hell they are talking about. Learn to do good research!

Answer 3

As neon is a noble gas without valence and no chemical affinity, your question can not be answered. You can use only neon for its chemical inerty

Answer 4

it's an inert gas so doesn't react with almost anything, it pairs up to form Ne2 in a molecule, glows red in vacuum discharge tube. Ok, that's 3. I'm too tired


LOL at first answer
