Neon gas-discharge lamps forming neon's element symbol. Neon was discovered in 1898 by the British chemists Sir William Ramsay (1852–1916) and Morris Travers (1872–1961) in London. [11] Neon was discovered when Ramsay chilled a sample of air until it became a liquid, then warmed the liquid and captured the gases as they boiled off.
As of 2008, endohedral complexes with helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon have been created. [64] These compounds have found use in the study of the structure and reactivity of fullerenes by means of the nuclear magnetic resonance of the noble gas atom.

Solid argon-hydrogen clathrate (Ar(H 2) 2) has the same crystal structure as the MgZn 2 Laves phase. It forms at pressures between 4.3 and 220 GPa, though Raman measurements suggest that the H 2 molecules in Ar(H 2) 2 dissociate above 175 GPa. A similar Kr(H 2) 4 solid forms at pressures above 5 GPa. It has a face-centered cubic structure where ...
The Earth's crust is one "reservoir" for measurements of abundance. A reservoir is any large body to be studied as unit, like the ocean, atmosphere, mantle or crust. Different reservoirs may have different relative amounts of each element due to different chemical or mechanical processes involved in the creation of the reservoir. [1]: 18
Neon in an electrical discharge tube. Neon has a density of 9.002 × 10 −4 g/cm 3, liquifies at −245.95 °C, and solidifies at −248.45 °C. It has the narrowest liquid range of any element and, in liquid form, has over 40 times the refrigerating capacity of liquid helium and three times that of liquid hydrogen.
Astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a landmark discovery of water vapor in the atmosphere of a planet just twice Earth’s diameter in size.
A helium neon excimer can be found in a mixed plasma or helium and neon. [50] Some other excimers can be found in solid neon, including Ne + 2 O − which has a luminescence peaking around 11.65 eV, or Ne + 2 F − luminescing around 10.16–10.37 eV and 8.55 eV. [51]
Water vapor has been detected in the atmosphere of a Neptune-size exoplanet called TOI-674 b, which is located about 150 light-years away from Earth. Water vapor found in another planet's ...
