Neon: A Gas in Neon Signs.

Neon is one of the noble gases on the Periodic Table. The other five Noble Gases are Helium, Argon, Kryton, Xenon, and Radon. The lights that produce a large array of colors are made by these gases. Neon creates a different color than the other gases because the electron emission spectrum.

The Electron Emission Spectrum is a spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted from the element's atom when they return to a lower energy state.

Since each element has a different amount of electrons, the colors vary.

Helium: Red

Neon: Yellow-gold, orange

Argon: blue

Kryton: purple

Xenon: white

Radon: yellow, orange-red
