What I have to present to you will not only amaze you, it will thrill you. This noble gas is the second lightest known noble gas on the planet, after helium. It is present in the atmosphere to the degree of one part per 65,000 parts of air. The Atomic number of the noble gas is 10 with an atomic weight of about 20.18. It is in the 18th column and the 2nd row on the periodic table of elements, and it can be used in many lights and signs for your company. I think that neon on will be an incredible value to the modern world and can be used for wonders of things.

Neon contains both 10 neutrons and 10 protons with a match of 10 electrons. Here (point to bored) I have drawn an example of Neon’s Bohr-Rutherford model. As u can see, the solid circle I have drawn to represent the nucleus, has 10 protons as well as 10 neutrons. I have...
