Extractions: Name: William Ramsay, Sir Birth Date: October 2, 1852 Death Date: July 23, 1916 Place of Birth: Glasgow, Scotland Place of Death: Hazelmere, England Nationality: British Gender: Male Occupations: chemist William Ramsay, Sir Main Biography The British chemist and educator Sir William Ramsay (1852-1916) discovered the rare gases and did important work in thermodynamics. While Ramsay was at Glasgow, he worked as an organic chemist, synthesizing pyridine in 1877, and showing how close the relationship was between this compound and the alkaloids quinine and cinchonine. At Bristol he worked primarily as a physical chemist and, with his assistant, demonstrated the complexity of the molecular structure of pure liquids by studying the variation in their molecular surface energy with temperature. In London, Ramsay gradually shifted his attention to making very accurate determinations of the density of gases. He noted the small difference between the density of atmospheric nitrogen and that of "chemically pure" nitrogen. Together with Lord Rayleigh he discovered in 1894 a new element, christened "argon" because of its apparent chemical inertness; they announced their discovery in early 1895. Subsequently Ramsay was able to show that the gas given off when the mineral clevite was heated had a spectrum identical with that of helium.

Extractions: The Drum tower, which dates from the 15th century, has a well at ground level, which supplied the Castle and still yields potable water. The 1st Earl of Dalhousie first built up the area between the keep and the curtain wall in the early 17th century. The Castle closely resembles nearby Dirleton Castle, which is now in ruins. The 9th Earl, with the aid of the architect Burns, undid much of the previous Earls work and restored the building in keeping with its original form. Inside the front door there was formerly an open courtyard across which one went to gain access to the main building through a low door in the keep and up a turnpike stairway. The courtyard was roofed in and converted into an entrance hall, further buildings were added between the keep and outer wall. The 9th Earl died in 1832, mourned amongst others, by his old school friend Sir Walter Scott.

Sir William Ramsay received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1904, "in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air, and his determination of their place in the periodic system." Ramsay was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1888 and was knighted in 1902. He died at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, on 23 July 1916. * William A.

Extractions: Sir William Ramsay Chemist. Ramsay was born in Glasgow. He went on to become Professor of Chemistry at Bristol and then at University College, London. Chiefly responsible for the discovery of the inert gases Argon (1894), Helium (1895), Neon, Krypton and Xenon (1898), Ramsay also show that helium was produced on the radio-active decay of radium. He also discovered the last of the noble elements, the radio-active gas Radon, in 1910. He spread scientific interest to other parts of the British Empire, including setting up the Indian Institute for Science at Bangalore. He was knighted in 1902 and received a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1904.
