Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, with approximately two-thirds the density of air. Neon was discovered in 1898 alongside krypton and xenon, identified as one of the three remaining rare inert elements in dry air after the removal of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide.
William Ramsay and Morris Travers discover the noble gases krypton (May 30), neon (June 7) and xenon (July 12) at University College London. [4] [5] July 28 – Marie and Pierre Curie announce (at the French Academy of Sciences) discovery of a substance they call Polonium. December 26 – Marie and Pierre Curie announce discovery of a substance ...

Neon was discovered in 1898 by the British scientists William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers. After obtaining pure neon from the atmosphere, they explored its properties using an "electrical gas-discharge" tube that was similar to the tubes used for neon signs today.
Sir William Ramsay KCB FRS FRSE (/ ˈ r æ m z i /; 2 October 1852 – 23 July 1916) was a Scottish chemist who discovered the noble gases and received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904 "in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air" along with his collaborator, John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics that same ...
Morris William Travers, FRS (24 January 1872 – 25 August 1961) was an English chemist who worked with Sir William Ramsay in the discovery of xenon, neon and krypton. [1] His work on several of the rare gases earned him the name Rare Gas Travers in scientific circles. [2]
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni aren't the first Hollywood actor-director duo to engage in on-set feuds. Will Smith and Chevy Chase infamously sparred with directors on their films.
The discovery of neon in 1898 by British scientists William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers included the observation of a brilliant red glow in Geissler tubes. [15] Travers wrote, "the blaze of crimson light from the tube told its own story and was a sight to dwell upon and never forget."
