Answer 2

It is NEON

Since neon is a noble gas, it has its full share of valence electrons, which makes it unlikely to bond with other atoms. Under certain conditions other noble gases, specifically xenon and krypton, can form compounds in extreme temperatures and pressures. Neon exists as single atoms in its elemental form.
