Examples of Neon:
 Lighting
 fluorescent lights,
 glow lamps,
 signs,
 lava lamps
 We know this because lights are filled with neon gas. They might contain other gases as
well. The gas contained in the sign tube determines the color of light given off. The color
given off by the neon is a reddish orange color. The light is often used in advertising
because it is so bright and very visually noticeable.

Other information
 Neon means “new one” comes from a Greek word
 Is a Nobel gas and often doesn't’t react with other elements
 Chemical element
 Was discovered by a British Chemists Sir William Ramsay and Morris W

Atomic Number
 The atomic number of neon is 10
 The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in
an atom
 Atomic number = number of protons
 The number of protons in an element never changes

6. +
Atomic Mass
 The average atomic mass of neon is 20.1797 or rounded
20.180
 The mass number of an atom us the number of protons plus
the number of neutrons
 Mass number = protons plus neutrons
