Neon makes up about 15 parts per million of Earth's atmosphere. Neon is obtained from the atmosphere by a process called fractional distillation. Air is cooled until it liquefies. A tiny fraction of the air is neon, which boils off at -246.08°C, and is then collected when the gas vapor condenses into a liquid as it warms.

Gases contain no definite shape, it is influenced by the container. Density is m/V, so if there is no definite volume, there is no density. To find neon's density, you will need to know the volume and the mass of the gas, and divide the two as such: m/V
Neon is scarce in the earth atmosphere but in the universe's is the fifth most abundant chemical element.
depends on temperature and pressure, but at STP (standard temp & pressure):
0.90 g/L
Neon signs are available for sale from good specialist hardware shops. There are not the sort of thing that can be bought in a supermarket or high street store.
No. Neon, as a noble gas, does not react with ANYTHING.
Neon is one of the noble gases - helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon. Gas discharge lights, commonly called neon lights, will produce different colors depending on which gas is used. Neon itself produces an orange light. The Wikipedia entry ' Noble Gas' has a nice illustration near the end showing the colors produced by each of the above gases
Neon (Ne) belongs to Family 18, The Noble Gasses.
I dont think that Neon exists as a diatomic molecule, but I couldn't say for sure because the people on ask.com obviously don't know much about this. And neither does my chemistry book, or my mom.
Neon is a gas, and the concept of ductility applies to malleable solids. The 'melting point' of neon is about 25 Kelvin.
