Sir William Ramsay, (born Oct. 2, 1852, Glasgow, Scot.—died July 23, 1916, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Eng.), British physical chemist who discovered four gases (neon, argon, krypton, xenon) and showed that they (with helium and radon) formed an entire family of new elements, the noble gases. He was awarded the 1904 Nobel Prize for Chemistry in ...
Ramsay, the only child of a civil engineer, decided at an early age that he would become a chemist. He studied at the University of Glasgow in Scotland (1866–70); during his final 18 months there he pursued additional studies in the laboratory of the city analyst, Robert Tatlock. In October 1870 he left Glasgow without taking a degree, intending to become a pupil of the German analytical chemist Robert Bunsen at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, but he abandoned this plan. Six months later, Ramsay became a doctoral student under the German organic chemist Rudolf Fittig at the University of Tübingen in Germany, where he received a doctorate in 1872.

After graduating from Tübingen, Ramsay returned to Glasgow to work at Anderson College (1872–74) and then at the University of Glasgow (1874–80). During this period, Ramsay’s research focused on alkaloids (complex chemical compounds derived from plants). He studied their physiological action and established their structural relationship to pyridine...
The British physicist John William Strutt (better known as Lord Rayleigh) showed in 1892 that the atomic weight of nitrogen found in chemical compounds was lower than that of nitrogen found in the atmosphere. He ascribed this discrepancy to a light gas included in chemical compounds of nitrogen, while Ramsay suspected a hitherto undiscovered heavy ...
Ramsay had many interests, including languages, music, and travel. He was strongly supportive of science education, a concern that grew out of his experiences at Bristol, where he had been deeply involved in the campaign to obtain government funding for the university colleges. He was the first to write textbooks based on the periodic classificatio...

Conheça a vida e as descobertas do químico escocês William Ramsay, que descobriu quatro dos gases raros existentes. Saiba como ele estudou a ação fisiológica dos alcalóides, a diferença entre o nitrogénio do ar e do composto, e a relação entre a radioatividade e os gases nobres.
William Ramsay. (químico) 1852-1916. William Ramsay nasceu na Inglaterra, em 1852. Ele era químico e estudou novos minerais de bismuto, além de estudar a composição do ar atmosférico. Em 1894, Ramsay, Rayleigh e Strutt conseguiram caracterizar uma porção do ar atmosférico ainda desconhecida.
Sir William Ramsay was a Scottish chemist who discovered argon, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon. He also found helium in radium emanations and received many honors and awards, including the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904.
The Scottish chemist William Ramsay (1852–1916) is known for work that introduced a whole new group to the periodic table, variously called over time the inert, rare, or noble gases.
