THE WEIGHT OF NEON, IS AN AVERAGE WEIGHT,

BECAUSE, NEON GAS, IS NORMALLY, A MIXTURE,

OF THREE STABLE ATOMS, OF DIFFERENT WEIGHTS.

THE THREE ISOTOPES ARE SEPARATED, FROM THE ATMOSPHERE,

BY THE GASIOUS DIFFUSION PROCESS,

INSTEAD OF, BY FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION.

NEON

AT ROOM TEMPERATURES, NEON ATOMS ARE SO DISPERSED,

THAT NEON GAS, APPEARS TO BE, AN ODORLESS, COLORLESS GAS.

HOWEVER, AT -30°C IT SMELLS LIKE ORANGES,

AND AT -268°C IT MAKES A 3 ATOM PINK TRIGONAL CRYSTAL

SOURCES

NEON IS .065% OF THE AIR, IN OUR ATMOSPHERE.

MORE THAN 80,000 LITERS, OF NEON GAS, ARE TAKEN,

FROM THE ATMOSPHERE, PER DAY, FOR INDUSTRIAL USES,

IN CANADA, CUBA, ISREAL, MEXICO, SPAIN AND THE USA

COSTS

COMPRESSED NEON COSTS BETWEEN $2.80 A LITER & $4.20 A LITER

INDUSTRIAL USES OF NEON

THE LIGHTEST NEON ISOTOPE, IS USED AS A REFRIGERANT,

IN SMALL, APARTMENT SIZE, REFRIGERATORS,

IN MARINE REFRIGERATION UNITS and IN VAN AIR CONDITIONERS

THE LIGHTEST ISOTOPE

ALSO BONDS WITH THE HALOGENS,

AT TEMPERATURES OF, 1,740°C FOR 18 TO 28 HOURS.

IS USED, ALONG WITH OTHER NOBLE GASES,

IN THE CREATION OF, COLORFUL NEON SIGN, LIGHTING SYSTEMS..
