There is only one neon gas. It's name is neon. It is an element, and is on the Periodic Table of elements. It produces a red glow. There are other gases used in neon lights. Here they are along with their color of glow: Helium, peach glow. Argon, sky blue. Krypton, pale mauve. Xenon, pale violet. These colors combined with different colored glass make the neon signs you see every day be in all colors.

Why neon was given this name?
When discovered, it's properties in an electrical field were unique to anything discovered up to that time. So it was named "Neon", a "New" type of gas. Since then, we have discovered that a variety of gases have vivid color effects in an electrical field (which is why there are different colors of "neon" lights).
Does nitrogen oxygen neon carbon dioxide water or methane have molecules?
Yes, they do have molecules. In fact everything is made up of molecules even gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen ect.
The elements in group 18 of the periodic table?
Group 18 is the noble gases, the last group on the periodic table. The elements are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. These elements have a full outer shell and are virtually nonreactive.
Which of these are in the halogen family fluorine neon lithium or bismuth?
Fluorine The Halogen Family of elements is made up of the elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. Neon is one of the Inert or Noble gases. Lithium is a member of the Alkali Metal group of elements. Bismuth is in the same group of elements as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Arsenic and Tin.neon
What are liquids and gases made up of?
They are made up of tint atoms and molecules. The atoms are so small that this period (.)is made up of about 2 billion atoms. Yes that's a lot. Thanks, Greg.S
Are all neon lights made up neon gases?
Neon is the most used gas in neon lights but it also contains argon, Krypton, Xenon
Are all neons lights made up of neon gases?
Neon is the most used gas in neon lights but it also contains argon, Krypton, Xenon
What kind of gas lights up lights bulbs into various colors?
Nobles gases like argon, neon....
Are all neon lights made up of neon gases why?
No. Only the lights that give off a reddish light contain actual neon. Different color lights contain different gasses such as helium or argon. This is because every substance has a unique emission spectrum which dictates what colors of light it will give off if its electrons are excited such as by an electrical current.
What is the hidden meaning of knee lights?
knee on lights = neon lights knee on lights = neon lights
What inert gas gives its name to fluorescent lights?
Inert gases are noble gases. I assume that you have heard of Neon Lights? Ne (neon) is a noble gas. When energy (heat) is added to the element then the valance electrons move up to the excited state, or a higher principal energy level. It emits red light when the electrons return to the ground state.
What noble gas is used in neon lights?
Neon, obviously. Less obviously: the only true neon lights are those that give off an orange-red glow. Other colors result from other gases; for example, argon is used to give a blue color. Nowadays most "neon" lamps are really mercury vapor fluorescent lamps with tinted glass providing the color. A real neon light is almost always clear when turned off; the mercury vapor ones have a sort of cloudy appearance like other fluorescent bulbs.
Which family is made up of all gases?
Family #18 is made up of all gasesIt includes Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and RadonThey are also called the Noble Gases family, for they are not very reactive

What things that you could find at home is made up of argon?
Argon is chemically inert, it does not combine with other elements. So there wont be any items at home made from argon, except for the neon lights. Neon lights when mixed with argon produces different colour depending on the ratio of each.
What are some practical uses for neon?
Uses for neon gas include lighting up neon glow lamps and electric tubes. Neon is classified as a noble gas.
What are the pixels of a plasma display made up of?
The pixels of a plasma screen are made up of a gases (xenon, neon and helium) between two panels. These gases glow to different colours when a voltage is passed across them (they are accelerated towards the screen and light is produced when they hit the screen)
