Ever wonder what happens when a noble gas meets electricity? This video should answer that question. Why does this happen? Well, all noble gases conduct electricity and light up when a current runs through them. They are odorless, colorless and monatomic (exist as individual atoms) and due to its relative inertness, neon does not form any known stable compounds in nature.
Just like other noble gases, neon – discovered by chemists William Ramsay of Scotland and Morris Travers of England discovered in 1898 – is odorless and colorless, but under certain laboratory conditions, it can form a compound with fluorine. Besides that special circumstance, neon is nonreactive, according to the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Laboratory.
