Neon (Ne) is right after fluorine (F) on the periodic table and directly above Argon (Ar). What element does Neon share more similar properties with, fluorine or Argon? Be sure to use claim, evidence and reasoning in your answer.

Fluorine is a chemical element with the symbol F and atomic number 9. It is the lightest halogen and exists at standard conditions as a highly toxic, pale yellow diatomic gas. As the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive, as it reacts with all other elements, except for argon, neon, and helium.

Explanation:

They are both involved in gas exchanges.

Explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) Gas exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelop them. Inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli.

2) Also, capillaries are located inside the lungs. Therefore, whenever we breathe in air we exchange gasses.

Hope this helps! :D
