Moontanman Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 No, Neon is made in stars as one of the products of fusion of lighter elements into heavy ones... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Neon is not manmade. As your ptable source explains, it is recovered as part of the process during the liquifaction of air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divya Narayanan Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) 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. http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-neon.htm So neon is extracted by man .. not made by man.
