Neon is a colourless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions.

The compounds of neon include ionic molecules.
Molecules held together by van der Waals forces and clathrates.

20Ne, 21Ne and 22Ne.
21Ne and 22Ne are partly primordial and partly nucleogenic.

Neon is extracted by the fractional distillation of liquid air.
