How did William ramsay discover neon?

Answer 1

in 1898, in London William Ramsay along with Morris Travers discovered neon, krypton, and xenon. he was awarded noble prize for chemistry in 1904, the year in which , rayleigh receive the physics prize.

Answer 2

Neon (Greek νέον (neon) meaning "new one") was discovered in 1898 by the British chemists Sir William Ramsay (1852-1916) and Morris W. Travers (1872-1961) in London.

Neon was discovered when Ramsay chilled a sample of air until it became a liquid, then warmed the liquid and captured the gases as they boiled off. The gases nitrogen, oxygen, and argon had been identified, but the remaining gasses were isolated in roughly their order of abundance, in a six-week period beginning at the end of May 1898. First to be identified was krypton. The next, after krypton had been removed, was a gas which gave a brilliant red light under spectroscopic discharge. This gas, identified in June, was named neon, the Greek analogue of "novum," (new).

Answer 3

William Ramsay discovered neon in 1898 by isolating it from liquid air through a process of fractional distillation. He noticed a new gas with a bright, reddish-orange light when discharged through a high-voltage electric current. This led to the identification and naming of neon.

Answer 4

William Ramsey (a Scottish scientist) and Morris Travers (an English scientist) discovered neon at United Kingdom in 1898.
