Neon teeb tau pom los ntawm British chemist Ramsay yuam kev hauv kev sim. Nws yog ib hmo nyob rau lub Rau Hli 1898. Ramsay thiab nws tus pab tau ua qhov kev sim hauv chav kuaj xyuas seb puas muaj roj tsawg ua hluav taws xob.
Ramsay tau txhaj cov pa tsis tshua muaj rau hauv lub tshuab nqus tsev vacuum, thiab tom qab ntawd txuas ob lub hlau electrodes nyob rau hauv lub tshuab nqus tsev vacuum raj mus rau high-voltage fais fab mov, tsom rau kev soj ntsuam seb cov roj puas tuaj yeem ua hluav taws xob. Lawv pom tias cov roj tsawg tau txhaj rau hauv lub tshuab nqus tsev tsis yog tsuas yog pib ua hluav taws xob xwb, tab sis kuj muab lub teeb liab zoo nkauj heev. Ramsay hu ua cov pa roj tsawg, uas tuaj yeem ua hluav taws xob thiab tawm teeb liab, neon. Tom qab ntawd, hom teeb no uas muab hluav taws xob thiab lub teeb rau cov pa roj tau hu ua neon teeb, thiab kev txhais lus yog neon teeb.
Neon lub teeb yog ib hom teeb uas muaj roj, uas feem ntau yog siv rau kev tshaj tawm lossis kos npe. "Neon" yog ib nrab lus Askiv txhais lus: "neon" suab zoo ib yam li "neon" hauv lus Askiv thiab muaj lub ntsiab lus ntawm zaj sawv hauv Suav. Lub nroog neon kos npe rau ntawm qhov tshwj xeeb loj neon teeb. Qhov tseeb muaj pes tsawg leeg ntawm cov roj hauv lub raj yog 99.5 feem pua neon thiab 0.5 feem pua argon, uas muaj qhov ua haujlwm qis dua li cov neon ntshiab.
