No, Neon is made in stars as one of the products of fusion of lighter elements into heavy ones...

Answer 7 needs more work - it seems to contradict your previous correct answers regarding reactivity and compounds.

 

Why don't you post the bit of ptable that lead you to think that neon is found as a compound with hydrogen and oxygen and the members can explain.

 

My only other point would be to use a few more different references

Neon is not manmade. As your ptable source explains, it is recovered as part of the process during the liquifaction of air.

[Divya Narayanan]

Although neon is the fifth most abundant element in the universe, it is actually quite rare on Earth. The bulk of the Earth's neon is bound up in the atmosphere, and it is extracted through a process known as fractional distillation, in which samples of liquefied air are processed to force their components to separate.

So neon is extracted by man .. not made by man.
