the claim

Neon is the fifth most abundant chemical element in the universe by mass.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Neon is the fifth most abundant chemical element in the universe by mass?

Partly. Two peer-reviewed sources state that neon is the fifth most abundant element in the universe, but neither specifies 'by mass'; one source instead assigns that fifth-place rank to nitrogen. The evidence covers the ranking only in part and does not settle the mass basis the claim asserts.
