how much does neon element cost?

About $33 dollars per 100 grams

neon's outer electron shell is filled, with no room for additional electrons. fluorine's is not so it can form bonds by accepting electrons from other elements.

By tube lamps I will make the assumption you are talking about Neon tubes.  Generally, Neon tubes are a combination of Neon and Helium with a small amount of Mercury in them.  The inside of the class is coated with white phosphor.  \n\nThe basis of operation is a high voltage transformer is used to cause the Neon gas to rise in energy level to the point it forms a plasma.  This is kind of like a spark that causes  the neon to suddenly glow, the energy emitted by the Neon is then absorbed by the phosphorous and re-emitted as a blueish white light.\n\nTo get the process started requires a higher amount of current then is available from the transformer and in older lamps a capacitor is used as a starter.  This capacitor charges up and then provides the current to get the Neon to start to glow originally.\n\nGenerally, the Neon lamps will only rise to the energy level in the presence of this high voltage from the transformer; however, I have seen cases in which either lightning or High energy radio waves can raise the energy level enough to cause them to begin to glow at a low level.  Generally the wires that are connected to the ends act as antennas and external energy radiated can be enough to cause the Neon to glow.\n\nIn failing neon tubes sometimes a conducting track begins to form on the inside of the lamp moving the conductor ends closer together, if the capacitors are not discharged it is possible that you might see a glow a second or two after the power has been shut off.  The you have another case in which the tube is already failed in that the anodes in the ends of the lamp tubes have broken down and the Neon does not rise in level required to glow.  And though they look like the power is off it is still on only there is not enough power reaching the gas in the tube to cause it to glow.  However, due to random heating or metallic vapor in the tube it is possible that the tubes will start to glow once in a while.\n\nDave Cooke

I just watched something about this on Oprah today. There's these lightbulbs you can buy for about $10 each that have 10 times the life of regular lightbulbs and use up to 66% LESS energy. Also, RECYCLE, REDUCE, REUSE! Plant trees! Use as much recycled materials as you can! And spread the word! Let's all become environmentalists so we can save the Earth for our children and THEIR children! :)

Alfa Aesar lists sodium ingots (99.8%) for $66 per pound.  Of course high purity versions would be more, bulk quantities less.

If you use the sun as a dehydrating method - the cost is $0  Electrical dehydrating methods will run you around 85 cents US a KG..

Neon is produced by almost all western nations, and is easily obtained from the liquification of air.\n\nAbaut 1 part in 65,000 of air is neon.

Neon has a liquid range of only 2.6 K.  Mp = 24.5K Bp = 27.1K

To find the number of neutrons you take the atomic mass in this case 20.180 and then subtract the elements atomic number in this case 10. SO 20.180-10 = 10.180 and since the number with the fewest significant digits has two your answer is 10 neutrons for Neon.

Neon won't form any stable compounds because it is too small to accommodate 8 fluorine ligands and, unlike the heavier noble gases, cannot use empty d-orbitals to rearrange the electron configuration.\n\nHeavier noble gases can form fluorine compounds which can be kept stable under certain conditions.

I would guess between $10 and $20.

A "true" neon light will have clear glass, if you want to get the specific frequencies that Neon plasma produces.\n\nYou friend's light may have neon gas inside, (impossible to tell), but you don't want it if you want to see what neon light looks like.

Probably no more than $2. If you are asking this because you are interested in pursuing this, go for it. That would be cool.
