168-500: A helium balloon. Neon's abundance in the universe is about 1 part in 750 by mass; in the Sun and presumably in its proto-solar system nebula, about 1 part in 600. The Galileo spacecraft atmospheric entry probe found that in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, the abundance of neon is reduced (depleted) by about a factor of 10, to a level of 1 part in 6,000 by mass. This may indicate that the ice- planetesimals that brought neon into Jupiter from

210-453: A lavender or blue hue. As of 2012, there are over one hundred colors available. Neon is used in vacuum tubes , high-voltage indicators, lightning arresters , wavemeter tubes, television tubes, and helium–neon lasers . Gas mixtures that include high-purity neon are used in lasers for photolithography in semiconductor device fabrication . Liquefied neon is commercially used as a cryogenic refrigerant in applications not requiring

252-519: A liquid, then warmed the liquid and captured the gases as they boiled off. The gases nitrogen , oxygen , and argon had been identified, but the remaining gases were isolated in roughly their order of abundance, in a six-week period beginning at the end of May 1898. The first remaining gas to be identified was krypton ; the next, after krypton had been removed, was a gas which gave a brilliant red light under spectroscopic discharge. This gas, identified in June,

294-527: A refrigerant, its commercial uses are relatively limited. It is primarily obtained through the fractional distillation of liquid air , making it significantly more expensive than helium due to air being its sole source. Neon was discovered in 1898 by the British chemists Sir William Ramsay (1852–1916) and Morris Travers (1872–1961) in London . Neon was discovered when Ramsay chilled a sample of air until it became

336-477: A role in the basic understanding of the nature of atoms in 1913, when J. J. Thomson , as part of his exploration into the composition of canal rays , channeled streams of neon ions through a magnetic and an electric field and measured the deflection of the streams with a photographic plate. Thomson observed two separate patches of light on the photographic plate (see image), which suggested two different parabolas of deflection. Thomson eventually concluded that some of

378-471: A smaller fraction in the crust. It is industrially produced by cryogenic fractional distillation of liquefied air. On 17 August 2015, based on studies with the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft, NASA scientists reported the detection of neon in the exosphere of the moon . Neon is the first p-block noble gas and the first element with a true octet of electrons. It

420-582: Is inert : as is the case with its lighter analog, helium , no strongly bound neutral molecules containing neon have been identified. An example of neon compound is Cr(CO) 5 Ne, which contains a very weak Ne-Cr bond. The ions [Ne Ar ] , [Ne H ] , and [HeNe] have been observed from optical and mass spectrometric studies. Solid neon clathrate hydrate was produced from water ice and neon gas at pressures 350–480 MPa and temperatures about −30 °C. Ne atoms are not bonded to water and can freely move through this material. They can be extracted by placing

462-555: Is a defining fixed point in the International Temperature Scale of 1990 . Neon is produced from air in cryogenic air-separation plants. A gas-phase mixture mainly of nitrogen, neon, helium, and hydrogen is withdrawn from the main condenser at the top of the high-pressure air-separation column and fed to the bottom of a side column for rectification of the neon. It can then be further purified from helium by bringing it into contact with activated charcoal. Hydrogen

504-551: Is also enriched in Ne, suggesting a primordial, possibly solar origin. Neon is the second-lightest noble gas, after helium . Like other noble gases, neon is colorless and odorless. It glows reddish-orange in a vacuum discharge tube . It has over 40 times the refrigerating capacity (per unit volume) of liquid helium and three times that of liquid hydrogen . In most applications it is a less expensive refrigerant than helium. Despite helium surpassing neon in terms of ionization energy , it

546-472: Is created by the nuclear fusion of carbon and carbon in the carbon-burning process of stellar nucleosynthesis . This requires temperatures above 500 megakelvins , which occur in the cores of stars of more than 8 solar masses. Neon is abundant on a universal scale; it is the fifth most abundant chemical element in the universe by mass, after hydrogen, helium, oxygen, and carbon (see chemical element ). Its relative rarity on Earth, like that of helium,

588-459: Is due to its relative lightness, high vapor pressure at very low temperatures, and chemical inertness, all properties which tend to keep it from being trapped in the condensing gas and dust clouds that formed the smaller and warmer solid planets like Earth. Neon is monatomic, making it lighter than the molecules of diatomic nitrogen and oxygen which form the bulk of Earth's atmosphere; a balloon filled with neon will rise in air, albeit more slowly than

630-497: Is generated by spallation reactions on magnesium , sodium , silicon , and aluminium . By analyzing all three isotopes, the cosmogenic component can be resolved from magmatic neon and nucleogenic neon. This suggests that neon will be a useful tool in determining cosmic exposure ages of surface rocks and meteorites . Neon in solar wind contains a higher proportion of Ne than nucleogenic and cosmogenic sources. Neon content observed in samples of volcanic gases and diamonds

672-584: Is purified from the neon by adding oxygen so water is formed and is condensed. One pound of pure neon can be produced from the processing of 88,000 pounds of the gas-phase mixture. Before the 2022 escalation of the war with Russia about 70% of the global neon supply was produced in Ukraine as a by-product of steel production in Russia . As of 2020 , the company Iceblick , with plants in Odesa and Moscow , supplies 65% of

714-501: Is theorized to be the least reactive of all the elements, even less so than the former. Neon plasma has the most intense light discharge at normal voltages and currents of all the noble gases. The average color of this light to the human eye is red-orange due to many lines in this range; it also contains a strong green line, which is hidden, unless the visual components are dispersed by a spectroscope. Stable isotopes of neon are produced in stars. Neon's most abundant isotope Ne (90.48%)

756-489: The atoms in the neon gas were of higher mass than the rest. Though not understood at the time by Thomson, this was the first discovery of isotopes of stable atoms. Thomson's device was a crude version of the instrument we now term a mass spectrometer . Neon has three stable isotopes : Ne (90.48%), Ne (0.27%) and Ne (9.25%). Ne and Ne are partly primordial and partly nucleogenic (i.e. made by nuclear reactions of other nuclides with neutrons or other particles in

798-505: The inner terrestrial planets . Neon’s high volatility facilitated its escape from planetesimals under the early Solar System's nascent Sun's warmth. Neon's notable applications include its use in low- voltage neon glow lamps , high-voltage discharge tubes , and neon advertising signs , where it emits a distinct reddish-orange glow. This same red emission line is responsible for the characteristic red light of helium–neon lasers . Although neon has some applications in plasma tubes and as

840-451: The universe and Solar System —ranking fifth in cosmic abundance following hydrogen, helium, oxygen, and carbon—neon is comparatively scarce on Earth. It constitutes about 18.2  ppm of Earth's atmospheric volume and a lesser fraction in the Earth's crust. The high volatility of neon and its inability to form compounds that would anchor it to solids explain its limited presence on Earth and

882-462: The 1929–30 season, the team won the national championship in Kansas City under new coach Gene Johnson (a former WSU coach) defeating San Francisco Olympic Club 29–16 in Kansas City. Playing on that team was Tex Gibbons . In the 1930–31 season, the team lost two of its players including Gibbons to Phillips Petroleum . In order to maintain amateur status, players were required to be employees of

924-469: The Greek word νέον , a neuter singular form of νέος ( neos ), meaning 'new'. Neon is a chemically inert gas , existing neon compounds are primarily ionic molecules or fragile molecules held together by van der Waals forces . The synthesis of most neon in the cosmos resulted from the nuclear fusion within stars of oxygen and helium through the alpha-capture process . Despite its abundant presence in

966-524: The Henry Clothiers basketball team which won three consecutive national Amateur Athletic Union championships in 1930-1932 at a time when colleges, corporate-sponsored teams, and private athletic clubs competed in the same tournament. The franchise was founded as B. Levitt & Sons in 1911 by Russian immigrant Bernard Levitt. After Bernard died his sons Henry (1894-June 20, 1968), Leo (known as Buddy)(died 1978) and Isadore (1898-1985) Levitt renamed

1008-577: The Twin Lakes Shopping Center, Towne East Square and in the early 1980s it opened a store at Towne West Square . In 1982 it closed the Twin Lakes store, the downtown store in 1984 and the Towne West store in 1988. Henry Levitt organize the Henry Clothiers basketball team in 1928–29 to provide around Barry Dunham and Ross McBurney who were on the 1925 Wichita High School East team that won

1050-458: The business Henry's. He opened a new store at 420 E. Douglas two blocks west of the original store. A 1929 renovation included Wichita's first large neon store. In 1948 a store opened at Broadway and William. It was followed by one in 1954 at Douglas and Oliver which eventually expanded to two stores across from each other (referred to at the time as "Twin Corners"). During the 1970s it opened in

1092-521: The clathrate into a vacuum chamber for several days, yielding ice XVI , the least dense crystalline form of water. The familiar Pauling electronegativity scale relies upon chemical bond energies, but such values have obviously not been measured for inert helium and neon. The Allen electronegativity scale , which relies only upon (measurable) atomic energies, identifies neon as the most electronegative element, closely followed by fluorine and helium. The triple point temperature of neon (24.5561 K)

1134-618: The companies that sponsored him. Levitt would eventually not be able to keep up with Phillips in competition for players. The team defeated the Los Angeles Athletic Club coached by Chuck Hyatt 33–20 in the semifinals and defeated the Kansas City Athletic Club 38–14 in the finals in Kansas City. In the 1931–32 season, the team defeated Northwest Missouri State University 15–14 in Kansas City. Northwest coached by Hank Iba and starring Jack McCracken had defeated

1176-405: The density of air. Neon was discovered in 1898 alongside krypton and xenon , identified as one of the three remaining rare inert elements in dry air after the removal of nitrogen , oxygen , argon , and carbon dioxide . Its discovery was marked by the distinctive bright red emission spectrum it exhibited, leading to its immediate recognition as a new element. The name neon originates from

1218-510: The early 1900s. After 1902, Georges Claude 's company Air Liquide produced industrial quantities of neon as a byproduct of his air-liquefaction business. In December 1910 Claude demonstrated modern neon lighting based on a sealed tube of neon. Claude tried briefly to sell neon tubes for indoor domestic lighting, due to their intensity, but the market failed because homeowners objected to the color. In 1912, Claude's associate began selling neon discharge tubes as eye-catching advertising signs and

1260-643: The environment) and their variations in natural abundance are well understood. In contrast, Ne (the chief primordial isotope made in stellar nucleosynthesis ) is not known to be nucleogenic or radiogenic , except from the decay of oxygen-20 , which is produced in very rare cases of cluster decay by thorium-228 . The causes of the variation of Ne in the Earth have thus been hotly debated. The principal nuclear reactions generating nucleogenic neon isotopes start from Mg and Mg, which produce Ne and Ne respectively, after neutron capture and immediate emission of an alpha particle . The neutrons that produce

1302-627: The forerunners of plasma displays and plasma television screens . Neon signs typically operate at much higher voltages (2–15 kilovolts ), and the luminous tubes are commonly meters long. The glass tubing is often formed into shapes and letters for signage, as well as architectural and artistic applications. In neon signs , neon produces an unmistakable bright reddish-orange light when electric current passes through it under low pressure. Although tube lights with other colors are often called "neon", they use different noble gases or varied colors of fluorescent lighting, for example, argon produces

1344-723: The global supply: Cryoin Engineering ( Ukrainian : Кріоін Інжинірінг ) and Inhaz ( Ukrainian : ІНГАЗ ), located in Odesa and Mariupol , respectively. The closure was predicted to exacerbate the COVID-19 chip shortage , which may further shift neon production to China. Two quite different kinds of neon lighting are in common use. Neon glow lamps are generally tiny, with most operating between 100 and 250 volts . They have been widely used as power-on indicators and in circuit-testing equipment, but light-emitting diodes (LEDs) now dominate in those applications. These simple neon devices were

1428-547: The outer solar system formed in a region that was too warm to retain the neon atmospheric component (abundances of heavier inert gases on Jupiter are several times that found in the Sun), or that neon is selectively sequestered in the planet's interior. Neon comprises 1 part in 55,000 in the Earth's atmosphere , or 18.2 ppm by volume (this is about the same as the molecule or mole fraction), or 1 part in 79,000 of air by mass. It comprises

1470-414: The reactions are mostly produced by secondary spallation reactions from alpha particles, in turn derived from uranium -series decay chains . The net result yields a trend towards lower Ne/ Ne and higher Ne/ Ne ratios observed in uranium-rich rocks such as granites . In addition, isotopic analysis of exposed terrestrial rocks has demonstrated the cosmogenic (cosmic ray) production of Ne. This isotope

1512-495: The same density as argon but with a different spectrum – Ramsay and Travers named it metargon . However, the subsequent spectroscopic analysis revealed it to be argon contaminated with carbon monoxide . Finally, the same team discovered xenon by the same process, in September 1898. Neon's scarcity precluded its prompt application for lighting along the lines of Moore tubes , which used nitrogen and which were commercialized in

1554-587: The state championship as well as the National Interscholastic Basketball Tournament in Chicago. The two had gone to Wichita State University where it placed third and McBurney was named to the 1927 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans team. Levitt lured the two along with another WSU player Harold Davis. Dutch Lonborg coached the team to an AAU title game at Convention Hall in Kansas City where it lost to Cook's Paint 51–35. In

1596-460: The team earlier in the season. In the 1932–33 season, the team played an expanded season of 50 games. It placed third in the national tournament losing to Diamond DX Oilers, 34-20 in the semifinals but beat Southern Kansas Stage Lines, 26–24 in third place game. Levitt quit sponsoring the team after the 1933 season. In 1968 after Henry died, the WSU Fieldhouse at Wichita State University

1638-500: The world's production of neon, as well as 15% of the krypton and xenon . Global neon prices jumped by about 600% after the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea , spurring some chip manufacturers to start shifting away from Russian and Ukrainian suppliers and toward suppliers in China . The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine also shut down two companies in Ukraine that produced about half of

1680-514: Was instantly more successful. Neon tubes were introduced to the U.S. in 1923 with two large neon signs bought by a Los Angeles Packard car dealership. The glow and arresting red color made neon advertising completely different from the competition. The intense color and vibrancy of neon equated with American society at the time, suggesting a "century of progress" and transforming cities into sensational new environments filled with radiating advertisements and "electro-graphic architecture". Neon played

1722-466: Was named "neon", the Greek analogue of the Latin novum ('new') suggested by Ramsay's son. The characteristic brilliant red-orange color emitted by gaseous neon when excited electrically was noted immediately. Travers later wrote: "the blaze of crimson light from the tube told its own story and was a sight to dwell upon and never forget." A second gas was also reported along with neon, having approximately
