Sagot :

To identify an element that is chemically similar to neon (Ne), we need to consider its placement in the periodic table and its characteristics. Neon is part of the noble gases, which are located in Group 18 (or Group 8A) of the periodic table. These elements are characterized by their lack of reactivity due to having complete electron shells.

Elements chemically similar to neon are therefore other noble gases. In Group 18, apart from neon (Ne) itself, we have the following elements:

- Helium (He)
- Argon (Ar)
- Krypton (Kr)
- Xenon (Xe)
- Radon (Rn)
- Oganesson (Og)

These are all noble gases and share similar chemical properties with neon.

Thus, any of the listed elements can be identified as chemically similar to neon (Ne):
- Helium (He)
- Argon (Ar)
- Krypton (Kr)
- Xenon (Xe)
- Radon (Rn)
- Oganesson (Og)
