The word use is kind of ambiguous, but to get an idea look up each of their electronegativities:
They both have zero electronegativity so they both are pretty useless in chemical reactions.

Argon is more commonly used than neon in various applications due to its higher abundance and lower cost. Argon is often used in lighting, welding, and as a shielding gas in industrial processes, whereas neon is mainly used in lighting applications for its distinctive bright, colorful glow.
Neon's chemical symbol is Ne, and argon's chemical symbol is Ar.
Argon has a higher melting point than Neon. Neon melts at -248.6 degrees Celsius, whereas Argon melts at -189.4 degrees Celsius.
No, neon and argon are not the same. They are both noble gases, but they have different atomic structures and properties. Neon has 10 protons, while argon has 18 protons in its nucleus.
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Since argon is heavier than neon (molar mass of 40 g/mol compared to 20 g/mol), argon will diffuse more slowly than neon.
Helium, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon are noble gases like neon. They are colorless, odorless, and have low reactivity. Neon is most similar to argon in terms of properties and behavior.
