Neon is the name of a chemical element which is expressed by the symbol Ne and has the atomic number of ten. Neon is commonly found in space; however it is quite uncommon on our planet. It exists in a gaseous state and under normal conditions does not have any colour and is almost inert. However, when utilised in devices such as vacuum discharge tubes and certain lamps it emits a distinctive reddish orange glow. Neon is removed from air using a commercial process, where traces of it can be found.
Neon is a noble gas, ranking second in the category in terms of weight, it is extremely light. it is important to know that neon is only capable of giving out a reddish orange colour, other colour emitted by lights, which are still called as neon, are obtained by making use of the emission of mercury vapour.
