Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, with approximately two-thirds the density of air. Neon was discovered in 1898 alongside krypton and xenon, identified as one of the three remaining rare inert elements in dry air after the removal of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide.
The exact atomicity of metals, as well as some other elements such as carbon, cannot be determined because they consist of a large and indefinite number of atoms bonded together. They are typically designated as having an atomicity of 2. The atomicity of homonuclear molecule can be derived by dividing the molecular weight by the atomic weight.
One mole of atoms contains an Avogadro number of atoms, so that the energy of one mole of atoms of a monatomic gas is =, where R is the gas constant. In an adiabatic process , monatomic gases have an idealised γ -factor ( C p / C v ) of 5/3, as opposed to 7/5 for ideal diatomic gases where rotation (but not vibration at room temperature) also ...
As of 2008, endohedral complexes with helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon have been created. [64] These compounds have found use in the study of the structure and reactivity of fullerenes by means of the nuclear magnetic resonance of the noble gas atom.

Recently, [when?] xenon has been shown to produce a wide variety of compounds of the type XeO n X 2 where n is 1, 2 or 3 and X is any electronegative group, such as CF 3, C(SO 2 CF 3) 3, N(SO 2 F) 2, N(SO 2 CF 3) 2, OTeF 5, O(IO 2 F 2), etc.; the range of compounds is impressive, similar to that seen with the neighbouring element iodine ...
Neon's polarisability of 0.395 Å 3 is the second lowest of any element (only helium's is more extreme). Low polarisability means there will be little tendency to link to other atoms. [1] Neon has a Lewis basicity or proton affinity of 2.06 eV. [2] Neon is theoretically less reactive than helium, making it the least reactive of all the elements ...
The abundances of the naturally occurring isotopes of neon. Neon (10 Ne) possesses three stable isotopes: 20 Ne, 21 Ne, and 22 Ne. In addition, 17 radioactive isotopes have been discovered, ranging from 15 Ne to 34 Ne, all short-lived. The longest-lived is 24 Ne with a half-life of 3.38(2) min. All others are under a minute, most under a second.
