Is neon normally a solid liquid or gas?
Under standard conditions the element neon is a colorless odorless gas. It is a completely inert gas, meaning that it will not combine with other elements or substances to create a compound. Neon has the narrowest liquid range of any element. It only remains a liquid from 24.55 K to 27.05 K.

At what temperature is neon liquid?
Neon has the smallest temperature range (2.6 degrees C or 4.7 degrees F) for which it is a liquid, according to Chemicool. Neon, along with helium, argon, krypton and xenon, make up the group known as noble gases.
