Answer:

Neon is a noble gas, it is monoatomic in nature, which implies that it has only one atom present. If we compare neon with water, water has three atoms present, two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Hence water stores more energy than neon because it is polyatomic and contains chemical bonds.
