Neon and argon gas by themselves are not. They are inert. As with standard fluorescent tubes, the minute droplets of Mercury present in some colors are safe as long as the tube is not broken. Improper handling can be a threat to both the environment and health. Many modern neon shops refuse repair of broken argon-mercury tubes for this reason. Neon is powered by voltages in the 2,000 to 15,000 volt range. Even though the current is in the milliamp range, if a neon piece is not properly mounted, wired, and insulated this voltage poses both a shock and fire hazard. This is an area where cheapness does not pay off. A well constructed neon piece should be problem free for many years.
Neon is not considered dangerous to humans because it is a noble gas, which means it is non-toxic and does not react with other elements. However, inhaling large amounts of neon gas in an enclosed space can displace oxygen and lead to asphyxiation.
The element neon does not become involved in chemical reactions. it could only become harmful if you breathed neon instead of air. It is not dangerous if some blows on your face. It is dangerous if you breathe straight neon.
Yes and no ... mixed with the air it is not dangerous because it is not a poison.
If you were in a room where all air was removed and filled with neon it would kill you because there would be no oxygen to keep ypu alive.
It really depends if it is a gas or liquid. It is not toxic, but can cause asphyxiation if there is too much in the room and thus reduces the oxygen content. It is completely nonflammable.
it can be when a baby is exposed to a lot of light and when you eat it
Neon is knowed to be non-toicx. It is deadly if you are in a room with sloely neon gas

How many electrons does the element neon?
The Element Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons.
Which element has 10 protons?
The element neon has 10 protons as its atomic number is 10.
Is neon a pure compound?
Neon is an element, not a compound. A compound requires more than one type of element in the molecule. Since Neon is monatomic (stable as a single atom - does not combine with other atoms to form molecules) there is no chance for it to be a compound.
Does neon only have one sort of atom?
Yes, neon is a chemical element with the atomic number 10, meaning that its nucleus contains 10 protons. Neon is a noble gas consisting of individual neon atoms.
Is neon a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
Neon is a homogeneous mixture. It is a noble gas that is composed of individual atoms that are uniformly distributed throughout the substance, making it a uniform composition.
Is neon poisonous or dangerous element?
no.
Is Neon a element compound or mixture?
Neon is an element
Is neon a compound or an element?
Neon is an element.
What is the natural color of neon the element?
neon is a colourless element
How many electrons does the element neon?
The Element Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons.
Is neon gas in a neon sign an element?
Neon from a neon sign is an element. It has the symbol Ne and is in group 18 which is noble gasses.
Is Ne a compound or an element?
On the periodic table of the elements, Ne is the abbreviation for Neon. It is only one element, and is not a compound at all.
What element has the atomic number 10?
The element with atomic number 10 is neon. Neon is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive under normal conditions.
Is neon individual atoms of an element?
Yes. Neon is mono-atomic element
Is neon an element a compound a solution or a heterogeneous?
Neon is a noble gas element.
Is neon a chemical compound?
Neon (Ne) is a chemical element, natural, gas, practically inactive.
What is the source element of neon?
Neon (Ne) is an element, element #10, and is not made up of other elements.
