    Extractions: William Ramsay BBC Hulton Picture Library (b. Oct. 2, 1852, Glasgow, Scot.d. July 23, 1916, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Eng.), British chemist whose discovery of four of the noble gases ( neon argon krypton , and xenon ) earned him the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1904. When in 1892 the British physicist Lord Rayleigh asked chemists to explain the difference between the atomic weight of nitrogen found in chemical compounds and the heavier free nitrogen found in the atmosphere, Ramsay predicted that nitrogen isolated from the atmosphere was consistently contaminated with a hitherto undiscovered heavy gas. Devising a method that assured the total removal of nitrogen and oxygen from air, Ramsay and Rayleigh found (1894) a chemically inert gaseous element, later called argon, making up nearly 1 percent of the atmosphere. The following year Ramsay liberated helium from the mineral cleveite and thus became the first person to isolate that element. He later (1903) demonstrated that helium, the lightest of the inert gases, is continually produced during the radioactive decay of radium, a discovery of crucial importance to a modern understanding of nuclear reactions. The positions of helium and argon in the periodic table of elements (a systematic ordering of the elements according to their atomic weights and chemical properties) indicated that at least three more noble gases should exist, and in 1898 Ramsay and the British chemist Morris W. Travers isolated these elementscalled neon, krypton, and xenonfrom air brought to a liquid state at low temperature and high pressure. In 1910 Ramsay detected the presence of the last of the noble-gas series, called niton (now known as radon), in the radioactive emissions of radium.

He was professor of chemistry at University College, Bristol (1880–87), and at University College, London (1887–1912). In his early experiments he showed that the alkaloids are related to pyridine, which he synthesized (1876) from acetylene and prussic acid. He then turned to inorganic and physical chemistry. Investigating the inert gases of the atmosphere, he discovered helium; with Rayleigh he discovered argon, and with M. W. Travers, krypton, neon, and xenon. He also carried on research on radium emanation. In 1902 he was knighted. For his work on gases he received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

He was a nephew of the geologist Sir Andrew Ramsay He studied at the University of Glasgow under Thomas Anderson and then went to study in Germany in Tübingen with Fittig where his doctoral thesis was entitled "“Investigations in the Toluic and Nitrotoluic Acids”. He returned to Glasgow as Anderson's assistant at the Anderson College. He was appointed Professor of Chemistry at Bristol in 1879 and married Margaret Buchanan in 1881. In the same year he became the Principal of Bristol University and somehow managed to combine that with active research both in organic chemistry and on gases. In 1887 he succeeded Alexander Williamson to the prestigious chair of Chemistry at University College London . It was here that his most celebrated discoveries were made. As early as he published several notable papers on the oxides of nitrogen developing the skills that he would need for his subsequent work.

See also External links ... edit Alexander Ramsay was the eldest of two sons born to Sir William Ramsay . Alexander's brother was Sir William Ramsay of Inverieth edit Sir Alexander became Warden of the Middle Marshes in command of Lothian men, and one of the Regent's chief commanders at Borough Muir , where England's ally the Flemish Army was defeated. He was present at the capture of Leuchars Castle, at St Andrews in 1335, and in June of 1338 he relieved Dunbar Castle and assisted the Countess of Dunbar in her struggle to maintain the stronghold against the English. His tragic story begins when he and his party of men recaptured Roxburgh Castle from the English in 1342. The titular constable of the Castle, Sir William Douglas, had several times tried unsuccessfully to retake it. For his brave and heroic feat, Sir Alexander was appointed constable of Roxburgh and Sheriff of Teviotdale. Sir William Douglas was so outraged by the appointments, that he sought revenge by capturing Sir Alexander and imprisoning him in the dungeon of Hermitage Castle where he was left to starve. Legend has it that he survived for seventeen days by eating small quantities of grain that fell through the cracks in the floor of the castle granary above the dungeon. His brother, Sir William Ramsay of Inverleith succeeded Sir Alexander at Dalhousie in 1342 and was famous for his raid around Norham Castle at the battle of Nesbitt Moor in 1355.

    Extractions: by by J.G.C. Anderson RAMSAY, SIR WILLIAM MITCHELL (1851-1939), classical scholar and archaeologist and the foremost authority of his day on the topography, antiquities, and history of Asia Minor in ancient times, was born in Glasgow 15 March 1851, the Youngest son of Thomas Ramsay, by his wife, Jane, daughter of William Mitchell, both of Alloa. Ramsay's family had been bred to the law for three generations, his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather having all been advocates, his grandfather also procurator-fiscal of Clackmannanshire. His father died in 1857, and the family returned to its native shire to settle in a rural home near Alloa. In his education his eldest brother and his maternal Uncle, Andrew Mitchell, of Alloa, took active interest. From the Gymnasium, Old Aberdeen, he went on to the university of Aberdeen and then won a scholarship at St. John's College, Oxford: there he obtained a first class in classical moderations (1874) and in literae humaniores (1876). In his second year at Oxford (1874), he was enabled by the generosity of his maternal uncle to spend the long vacation at Goettingen, studying Sanskrit under a great scholar, Theodor Benfey. This was a critical period of his life: then for the first time, in his own words, he 'gained some insight into modern methods of literary investigation', and his 'thoughts ever since turned towards the border lands between European and Asiatic civilization'. A further stimulus was received from Henry Jardine Bidder, of St. John's, a man of incisive mind and speech, who first opened his eyes to the true spirit of Hellenism and so helped to fit him for the work which he had in view.

In 1903, with Frederick Soddy , he noted the transmutation of radium into helium, which led to the discovery of the density and relative atomic mass of radium. Nobel prize 1904. Helium was known from spectrographic evidence to be present on the Sun but yet to be found on Earth. Certain uranium minerals were known to produce an unidentified inert gas on heating, and Ramsay obtained sufficient of the gas to send a sample to English scientist William Crookes for spectrographic analysis. Crookes confirmed that it was helium.
