| Name: | Neon |
| Symbol: | Ne |
| Atomic number: | 10 |
Neon occurs naturally as an orderless, colorless, tasteless gas. It is the fourth most-abundant element in the universe, but is extremely rare on Earth. It can be found in large quantities in liquid form on Class K planets. Neon is highly inert and forms no known compounds.
In 2267, the Galileo crash-landed on Taurus II, near the Murasaki 312. The crew found the atmosphere breathable, an oxygen-nitrogen mixture, with traces of neon, argon, and krypton, not dissimilar to that of Earth. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")
Later that year, the Galileo II was forced to crash-land on a planetoid in the Gamma Canaris region. The crew found the atmosphere to also be an oxygen-nitrogen compound similar to that of Earth, again containing trace amounts of neon, argon, and krypton. (TOS: "Metamorphosis")
