noun
chemistry
A chemical element, symbol Ne, that is a colourless, odourless noble gas used chiefly to fill glowing signs and certain lamps.
Neon belongs to the group of noble gases, which react with almost nothing else, and neon glows a distinctive reddish-orange when an electric current passes through it in a sealed tube; this glow gave rise to the phrase "neon sign" and to the informal use of neon as an adjective for very bright, vivid colours. The element itself is present only in tiny amounts in the atmosphere.
