SUPER NEON!!!


Hello there, I am SUPER NEON! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am really a spy, but dont tell anyone! (shhhh.) You see, I am colorless, and also odorless, so no one can
see me, I AM INVISIBLE (see picture below...)!
First, you can see me, THEN YOU CANT, because I am invisible. 
I can also sneak around because I don't react with anything, and also, electronegativity does not apply to my friends and I because we are super cool and Noble Gases. At room temperature, I am a gas, so I can easily squeeze into small spaces. My density is .0008999 grams per cubic centimeter.

These two guys found me in 1898 when they were trying to figure out Krypton, who lives two periods below me. Sir William Ramsay is a Scottish Chemist, and Morris M. Travers is an English Chemist. Modern Day people like to put me in Big signs so their clients can see me. Also, I am used in high voltage indicators, and my pal helium comes with me to make LASERS. That is my favorite. One time, I was a liquid, and they put me around Walt Disney's head, as well as others, but they said I couldn't tell you who, in case they come back. The only other element I may be able to play with other than helium is fluorine, but other than her, I don't play well with others. Some of my other super powers are that I am the fifth most abundant element in this universe! I can also form stars. Which pretty much makes me a star, which MAKES ME AWESOME. .Don't tell anyone, but my weakness is that I have no stable compounds, and I am also pretty rare on planet Earth. Okay, well, you will see me at night time!
