Compounds. Neon is a very inert element, however, it has been reported to form a compound with fluorine. It is still questionable if true compounds of neon exist, but evidence is mounting in favor of their existence. The ions, Ne+, (NeAr)+, (NeH)+, and (HeNe+) are known from optical and mass spectrometric studies.
Neon atoms have 10 electrons and 10 protons with a full outer shell of 8 electrons. Characteristics and Properties. Under standard conditions the element neon is a colorless odorless gas. It is a completely inert gas, meaning that it will not combine with other elements or substances to create a compound.eon is used in lighting signs that are often called neon signs. However, neon is only used to produce a reddish orange glow. Other gases are used to create other colors even though they are still called neon signs. Other applications that use neon include lasers, television tubes, and vacuum tubes.
