Objective: Neon is a noble gas. It wants to be used in advertising signs. He is a great salesclerk, and attracts many people). Ideally, Neon would be used for advertising and store signs, especially at night when it’s dark out. Also, he can provide some form of help in high-voltage warning indicators, Geiger counters, and television tubes. Adopted by Sir William Ramsay of Scotland and Morris M. Travers of England, Neon found a home in 1898. His other adoptive brother, Krypton, was discovered slightly earlier. Both of them were found through the study of liquefied air. Neon 4th most abundant found hanging out in the universe, but rarely will be found in the earth’s atmosphere.

Honors and Awards: He is mostly known for its success in florescent lamps and various other lighting systems including advertisement. He, when filled in a tube, produces a bright orange red colored light. Neon also has the ability to penetrate fog which other lights are impossible to detect. As a liquid, he serves as a cryogenic refrigerant. His liquid form has 40 times refrigerating capacity than that of liquid helium and three times than liquid hydrogen.

Experience and Skills: He is excellent for attracting children with fascination with bright lights, or young adults who are intoxicated to go into a bar or pub. Has been used in florescent lights, high-voltage warning indicators, Geiger counters, television tubes, and sometimes used as cryogenic refrigerant (only when dressed up as liquid).

Refrences: Neon is a very independent person. Very rarely will he need help from others, he learns perfectly fine on his own. Neon does not make any compounds with any element and is highly inert. Other elements do not bond with him, and he does not bond with others, however neon and helium make a good team to make neon-helium lazers.
