“I could be the most captivating element of the periodic table. I am the
gas that can give you your name or any word you like, in fact, in light. I
was filled the first illuminated science, which was produced almost a Century ago and since then, it has infiltrated language and culture. The word conjures up images of colourful or sometimes rather seedy, glowing science, many of which now don't contain the gas itself. Only the red glow is pure neon, almost every other colour is now produced using argon, mercury and phosphorus in varying proportions, which gives more than
a 150 possible colours.
Nevertheless, I am now a generic name for all the glowing tubes that allow advertisers and even many artists to draw and write with light and it was that glow that gave its presence away for the first time.”
