Enlightened by Neon
The element in question is known as the cool signs from the 80's and the color you want to die your hair however, neon in chemistry is different. The chemical element of neon was discovered in 1898 by two British scientists named Sir William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers. The word neon comes from the Greek word νέον meaning new.

What's atomic about neon?
The chemical symbol of neon is Ne. The atomic number of this element is ten, meaning that there are ten protons in the nucleus. The average atomic mass for neon is 20.1797.

valence elctrons
A neutral neon atom has eight valence electrons.

On the periodic table, the element neon is a noble gas. Since it is a noble gas, neon is stable and has other elements who are similar to it in this regard. Neon is located on the farthest column over on the right in the second row. The other elements in this column are all stable gases and this makes them similar.

In the wild
Neon is a rare gas that is found in the Earth's atmosphere. It may be the fourth most abundant element in the universe, but it only comprises 0.0018% of Earth's atmosphere. Neon is usually found in the form of a gas with molecules consisting of a single neon atom.

what's the use?
The main use of neon by humans is to make neon signs for advertising. A more scientific use of neon is used to make high voltage indicators and is combined with helium to make helium-neon lasers. Liquid neon is also used as a cryogenic refrigerant.

compounds? 
what compounds?
Believe it or not, but neon is one of the few elements that do not form compounds with other elements. However, there have been studies to try and find an element that bonds with neon; and it was found that fluorine may be a good candidate for a man made compound.
Neon atoms don't bond with other atoms.
Discover, 
identify, 
PURIFY 
The discovery of neon went exactly like the discovery of the element krypton. In fact, neon and krypton were discovered by the same chemists, Travers and Ramsey, and the same experiment. The chemists identified neon soon after krypton in their liquid air experiment. Neon is collected from under the cover of the air-fractionating apparatus. It is then purified by being sent to the dephlegmator, that is a distillation tube, then the mixture is sent to another apparatus called dephlegmator-adsorber. Finally, depending on the degree of purification, the final mixture contains 30-75% of neon and 10-25% of helium.

just the facts
Some more facts include:
 
    • Neon is a noble gas.
    • Neon is odor less and colorless.
    • Neon poses no environmental threat.
    •  Neon's most common isotopes are neon-20, neon-21,and neon-23.
