What state of matter is neon?

Neon is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It belongs to the group of noble gases in the periodic table.

Neon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and it is typically found in a gaseous state. Under standard conditions (0°C and 1 atmosphere of pressure), neon does not have any color or taste and does not react with other elements.

When cooled to extremely low temperatures or subjected to high pressures, neon can condense into a liquid and eventually solidify. However, these conditions are not typical for neon outside of a laboratory setting. For most practical purposes, neon remains in a gaseous state, commonly used in neon signs due to its ability to emit bright light when electrical current passes through it.
