Question 4 (1 point) Neon gas is often used to make signs for restaurants and businesses. However, neon only accounts
for 0.0018% of Earth's atmosphere. Scientists are looking for other elements that have similar

Argon

Explanation:

The element that would most likely be a good substitute for neon is "argon".

These two elements belong to the noble gases in Group 18(8A) of the Periodic Table. They are inert gases - they do not react chemically with other substances.

Argon, as an inert gas is often used whenever an inert atmosphere is needed. Argon is used in incandescent light bulbs. It is used to stop oxygen from corroding the filament. It is also used by welders to protect weld area.

Argon is a good substitute for neon in this context because they possess some physical properties which are similar.

lol idk man i guess u gotta ask bill nye the science guy
