A periodic table element box for neon displays its atomic number 10, symbol Ne, atomic weight 20.1797, electron configuration, and labels indicating it is a noble gas, a gas at room temperature, and has a face-centered cubic crystal structure. Crowds of people walk past brightly lit neon signs for bars and music venues on Lower Broadway in Nashville at night. Explore an interactive periodic table of the elements Figure 5: Energy levels of the neon atom. The orbitals occupied by the six outer electrons are indicated on the levels. The transition responsible for the red light from common lasers (wavelength of 6330 Å) is shown by the arrow. Line graph showing the first ionization energies of the elements as a function of atomic number, with peaks at noble gases like helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, and labeled elements at key points.
