NEON
Natalie Cox November 2, 2012
Historical Background
Neon was discovered by Scottish Chemist, Sir William Ramsey, & English Chemist, Morris M. Travers, in 1898, shortly after their discovery of krypton. Like krypton, neon was discovered from the study of liquefied air.
Physical Appearance
Electron Configuration- He 2s2 2p6
Chemical Properties
- Since neon is a noble gas it has no electro negativity because members of that type of family do not attract electrons, therefore they have no electrons.
- Neon’s ionization energy is 21,5654
- Neon’s reactant partners are
Location
- Group- 18
- Period- 2
