Neon is considered a "nonmetal inert gas".
Neon has the formula "Ne". It has atomic number of 10, which means it has 10 electrons configured as follows: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6. Based on this, neon is monoatomic and stable in standard form.
Neon is a colorless gas that exhibits an orange-red glow when placed in an electric field.
