One of the noble gasses, neon is inert though it reacts to the application of electrical charges. The result is the characteristic orange or reddish glow commonly seen in neon advertising lights.

The term neon light is a little misleading since other inert noble gasses such as xenon are often combined with neon to produce various colors. Neon lights have been around since the early 1900s and became a common a part of the Art Deco design movement.

Neon is extracted through a process called fractional distillation, a method of separating chemical compounds. Ambient air, which contains the gasses commonly found in Earth's atmosphere, is first cryogenic ally frozen creating a liquid. Neon is then extracted from the liquefied air.
