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
properties as neon that could be used as a substitute. Which of the following elements would most
likely be a good substitute?
Oь

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.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
