Neon information, including Technical Data, Safety Data and its high purity properties, research, applications and other useful facts are discussed below. Scientific facts such as the atomic structure, ionization energy, abundance on Earth, conductivity and thermal properties are included.
 Neon is a Block P, Group 18, Period 10 element. The number of electrons in each of Neon's shells is 2, 8 and its electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6. In its elemental form neon's CAS number is 7440-01-9. The neon atom has a radius of 154.pm and
it's Van der Waals radius is 154.pm.
Neon is not toxic.
Neon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers in 1898.
The origin of the name comes from the Greek word neon meaning new.
