Atomic Number: 10 Atomic Mass Units (A.M.U): 20.1797 Melting Point: 24.56 K (-248.59ºC or -415.46ºF) Boiling Point: 27.07 K (-246.08ºC or -410.94°F) Density: 0.0008999 Grams per cubic centimeter Group Name on Periodic Table: Noble Gas Element Classification: Non-metal

Neon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay, the Scottish chemist, and Morris M. Travers, an English chemist. They found neon after they discovered the element krypton. Krypton is also a noble gas and its atomic number is 36. They found these noble gases through the study of liquefied air. Neon has a reddish orange color in a vacuum discharge tube. Neon is found as a gas and with only one single neon atom

Health Effects:
It can be absorbed into your body by inhalation. When Neon gets into the air it can lead so suffocation if your in a confined area. If you touch the substance then there will be the result of frostbite. Inhalation can result in dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and you could become unconscious. =WARNING= Neon is hazardous to health and inhalation of this element may cause death. If the gas is in high concentration and there is not enough oxygen then the gas will be lethal. All of these effects are caused by something called an [|asphyxiant.] == Green=Neutrons Purple=Protons  Blue=Electrons  Green & Purple= Nucleus Home Page  =
