Some of the better-known composers of this time include Dufay, Josquin des Prez, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, and William Byrd ; the glories of Renaissance polyphony were choral, sung by choirs of great skill and distinction all over Europe.

Argon ( αργος, Greek meaning " inactive ", in reference to its chemical inactivity ) was suspected to be present in air by Henry Cavendish in 1785 but was not isolated until 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay in Scotland in an experiment in which they removed all of the oxygen, carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen from a sample of clean air.

In 1903, with Sir William Ramsay at University College London, Soddy verified that the decay of radium produced alpha particles composed of positively charged nuclei of helium.

Sir William Ramsay, the discoverer of terrestrial helium

On March 26, 1895, Scottish chemist Sir William Ramsay isolated helium on Earth by treating the mineral cleveite ( a variety of uraninite with at least 10 % rare earth elements ) with mineral acids.

John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, OM ( 12 November 1842 – 30 June 1919 ) was an English physicist who, with William Ramsay, discovered argon, an achievement for which he earned the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1904.

Based on his accurate description of towns, cities and islands, as well as correctly naming various official titles, archaeologist Sir William Ramsay wrote that " Luke is a historian of the first rank ; not merely are his statements of fact trustworthy ... should be placed along with the very greatest of historians.

Along with scientist William Ramsay at University College, London, Lord Rayleigh theorized that the nitrogen extracted from air was mixed with another gas, leading to an experiment that successfully isolated a new element, argon, from the Greek word (, " inactive ").

Neon ( Greek ( neon ) meaning " new one ") was discovered in 1898 by the British chemists Sir William Ramsay ( 1852 – 1916 ) and Morris W. Travers ( 1872 – 1961 ) in London.

Subsequently, Prof. Sir William Ramsay, a Nobel Laureate, was called on to propose a suitable place for such an institution who suggested Bangalore as the best location.

Sir William Ramsay ( 1852 – 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 Lord Rayleigh who received the Nobel Prize in Physics that same year for the discovery of argon ).

Ramsay was born in Glasgow on 2 October 1852, the son of civil engineer William Ramsay and Catherine, née Robertson.

Ramsay was married to Margaret Johnstone Marshall ( née Buchanan, daughter of George Stenenson Buchanan ) and had a daughter, Catherine Elizabeth ( Elska ) and a son, William George, who died at 40.

The Sir William Ramsay School in Haselmere is named after him.
