William Ramsay
Sir William Ramsay
(; 2 October 1852 – 23 July 1916) was a Scottish chemist who discovered the
noble gases
and received the
Nobel Prize in Chemistry
in 1904 "in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air" along with his collaborator,
John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh
, who received the
Nobel Prize in Physics
that same year for their discovery of
argon
. After the two men identified argon, Ramsay investigated other atmospheric gases. His work in isolating argon,
helium
,
neon
,
krypton
, and
xenon
led to the development of a new section of the
periodic table
.
