  2. Atomic Number: 10 Atomic Weight: 20.1797 Melting Point: 24.56 K (-248.59°C or -415.46°F) Boiling Point: 27.07 K (-246.08°C or -410.94°F) Density: 0.0008999 grams per cubic centimeter Phase at Room Temperature: Gas Element Classification: Non-metal Period Number: 2    Group Number: 18    Group Name: Noble Gas

  3. The Discovery of Neon • Discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris M. Trevars in 1898 • Discovered the element through an experiment involving liquefied air • Sir William Ramsay and Morris M. Trevars are also credited to be the founders of Krypton in 1898

  4. Heinrich Geissler • Invented the Geissler tube in 1855 • Were used with electrical generators to conduct experiments • These tubes enabled gasses to glow (would use low pressure and voltage from the electrical generators)

  5. Georges Claude • Developed the first neon signs • Claude patented the first neon lighting tube in 1915 • First showed his work in Paris where he displayed two of his glass tubes • Claude is most famous for not only creating but also selling neon-filled glass tubes in the shapes of letters

  6. Interesting Facts! • Neon is the fourth most abundant element in the entire universe!! • Only 0.0018% of the world’s atmosphere in made of neon • You can see a neon sign from up to 300 or 400 feet away (another reason why neon signs are so affective). • Neon derives from the word “neos” in Greek • “Neos” means new gas
