My name is Neon, but most people call me Ne. I was born in London, 1898, and grew up with my two dads: Morris Travers and William Ramsey. I’ve had a pretty busy life since then. I get used for a mass of diverse things, but mainly I get used for advertisements and signs because I’m so bright. Originally I’m an orange-red color, but when tubes of glass are filled with different gases, and then the sealed tubes get zapped with electricity, they glow. Argon, krypton, xenon, and radon are the other noble gases used besides me, and each glows differently. By tinting the tubing, even more colors can be created. That is how I can turn into loads of different colors, thus then be used in parties, photography, art etc.

Baby Career

Neon is a nonflammable, colorless, odorless, and tasteless monatomic gas. It belongs to the Group VIIIA elements, called noble gases. Neon is used in various and a lot of things, such as: glow lamps, electron tubes, plasma studies, fluorescent starter tubes, gas lasers, cryogenic refrigeration, bar lighting, and helium-neon lasers; where the neon is used to make high voltage indicators and is combined with helium to make them. Then, it is also mainly used in advertisements/signs. To conclude, neon is used in industry as a refrigerant due to its low boiling point as well as in the sign industry where it is valued for the natural emittance of red light when electrified inside of a controlled environment.
