Now, why do Noble gases glow exactly? Well scientists believe that the Noble gases glow when a chemical current is passed through them because the outer energy levels are full they give out another energy level which results in the "neon" glow.

THE ELEMENTS
Each noble gas has a specific reason it does what it does to know this you need to know more about the elements themselves.
The Noble Gases are column 18 of the periodic table
The Noble Gases are column 18 of the periodic table
Helium
Helium- With a Atomic number of 2 and an atomic mass of 4.0026 Helium is a colorless and odorless, colorless, and nonreactive gas. when an electric current is ran through it it makes a light purple glow.
Neon
Neon- Neon has an atomic number of 10 and an atomic weight of 20.1797 Neon has the most intense glow of all the other noble glasses.
Argon
Argon- The 18th element Argon has 18 protons giving it an atomic number of 18 and it like helium, is colorless and odorless argon glows a light blue or light purple.
Krypton
Krypton- At the atomic number slot of 36 Krypton is an element that actually be found in the atmosphere of mars. When solid Krypton has a crystalline structure that is a characteristic of many rare gasses. If charged with an electric color Krypton gas illuminates a white color.
Xenon
Xenon- 54th element Xenon was originally one of the elements that was thought to be an element not able to form any compounds. With the right charge Xenon radiates a blue glow.
Radon
Radon- an atomic number of 86 and an atomic weight of 222.02 are just two of the strange qualities of Radon. Radon actually can't burn. When the temperature is below freezing then Radon begins to glow a yellow color. Radon gas can be dangerous for humans to breath in and it used to be in homes which has now become a safety hazard.
