Neon is an noble gas. It has 10 protons in its nucleus and has 10 electrons orbiting around it. It will avoid borrowing or loaning out electrons. Neon has different numbers of neutrons in its nucleus. These are the different isotopes of neon. It turns out that neon has 3 stable isotopes, and they appear with 10, 11 and 12 neutrons in the nucleus. The 10-neutron variety is about 90% of natural neon, 11-neutron neon is about 1% of neon, and 12-neutron neon is about 9% of the neon we can find. There are other isotopes that can be synthesized in the physics lab, and they have neutron counts of 6, 7, 8 and 9, and also from 13 through 24. (Source)
