Other Resources Biography William Ramsay On his return to Scotland in 1872 he became assistant in chemistry at the Anderson College in Glasgow and two years later secured a similar position at the University there. In 1880 he was appointed Principal and Professor of Chemistry at University College, Bristol, and moved on in 1887 to the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at University College, London, a post which he held until his retirement in 1913. Ramsay's earliest works were in the field of organic chemistry. Besides his doctor's dissertation, about this period he published work on picoline and, in conjunction with Dobbie, on the decomposition products of the quinine alkaloids (1878-1879). From the commencement of the eighties he was chiefly active in physical chemistry, his many contributions to this branch of chemistry being mostly on stoichiometry and thermodynamics. To these must be added his investigations carried on with Sidney Young on evaporation and dissociation (1886-1889) and his work on solutions of metals (1889).

William Ramsay Jacqueline Banerjee , PhD; Contributing Editor, The Victorian Web Victorian Web Home Biology Geology Physics ... Chemistry Sir William Ramsay (from the frontispiece of Tilden's Memoirs ). [Click on thumbnail for larger image.] William Ramsay (1852-1916) was the most distinguished Victorian scientist to be associated with University College London . He was Professor of Inorganic Chemistry there from 1887 to 1913, won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1904, and became the University of London's first Professor Emeritus on his retirement. Ramsay's earliest biographer writes that here "the chair of Chemistry had been occupied from the first by professors of the highest rank and of world-wide reputation"; nevertheless, the new professor had to deal with "peculiar and disagreeable circumstances" at first, because of the clutter that had accumulated in the laboratories and the need to repeat his chemistry lectures again for the separate groups of medical students and women. Luckily, unlike Charles Wheatstone and James Clerk Maxwell , the distinguished scientists who had taught at King's,* Ramsay had a flair for lecturing and was "very popular" with his classes in Bloomsbury (Tilden 102, 105, 107). He was certainly progressive in his thinking as a university teacher, warmly welcoming the integration of women students into the mainstream when it came (it certainly saved him repeating his lectures for them), keen on the "continental Seminar" (Ramsay

After working in laboratories both there and on the Continent, he became Professor of Chemistry at the new Bristol University for seven years before joining UCL in 1887. Ramsay's most important contribution to science was the discovery of argon and the other noble gases for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1904. He can also be seen standing in his lab: After his death in 1916, the Ramsay Memorial Fellowships were endowed by public subscription to enable outstanding young scholars to carry out research in chemistry in the UK. Curiously, Ramsay Fellows are expected to give one lecture during their tenure at a University within the city of Glasgow, but not at UCL. Go figure!

Ramsay, Sir William Scottish chemist who, with Lord Rayleigh, discovered argon 1894. In 1895 Ramsay produced helium and in 1898, in cooperation with Morris Travers , identified neon, krypton, and xenon. 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. In his book The Gases of the Atmosphere 1896, Ramsay repeated a suspicion he had stated 1892 that there was an eighth group of new elements at the end of the periodic table. During the next decade Ramsay and Travers sought the remaining rare gases by the fractional distillation of liquid air. 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.

He studied under Robert Wilhelm Bunsen , and predicted that dense gasses were hidden, invisible and as yet undetected in the Earth's atmosphere. To test his idea, he designed an experimental means to remove oxygen and nitrogen from the air, and analyzing what remained in collaboration with Lord Rayleigh he found the previously unknown element argon (Ar) in 1894. He later spectroscopically confirmed the existence of helium, which had first been observed by Pierre Janssen . From the established positions of argon and helium on the periodic table of elements, Ramsay guessed that more unknown gasses exist, and discovered krypton, neon, and xenon in 1898. Working with chemist Robert Whytlaw-Gray (1877-1958) he discovered radon in 1900. In 1903, working with
