Final answer:
The element described is Neon, which is a noble gas used in neon lights and is inert, meaning it does not like to bond with other elements.
Step-by-step explanation:
The element described as 'usually a gas, used in sign bulbs, and does not like to bond with other elements' is b) Neon. Neon fits this description because it is a noble gas, which means it is mostly inert and does not readily form compounds with other elements due to its full valence shell of electrons. Neon lights are actually gas discharge lamps that emit a distinctive red-orange glow when an electrical current passes through the gas.
