Significant Scots
Sir William Ramsay


It was in inorganic chemistry that his most celebrated discoveries were made. As early as 1885-1890 he published several notable papers on the oxides of nitrogen and followed those up with the discovery of argon, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904.
