Answer:
Because in neon there are no intermolecular forces of Attraction or repulsion, due to full filled electronic configuration of Neon. There exist only weak Vanderwaal forces in Neon as it a noble gas. We know that Vanderwaal forces are weaker than the covalent one. Therefore, Vanderwaal radius is bigger than covalent radii in Neon.
