The discovery of Neon
Neon (Ne) was first discovered in 1898, in London, England by William Ramsay and Morris Travers. Neon was discovered when William Ramsay cooled a sample of the atmosphere until it became liquid. He then boiled the liquid and captured the gasses as it boiled. Then he discovered Neon!
