Neon: historical information. Neon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay, Morris W. Travers at 1898 in London, England. Neon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in 1898 very shortly after their discovery of the element krypton. Both elements were discovered through work on liquid air.
Neon was the second of these three rare gases to be discovered, and was immediately recognized as a new element from its bright red emission spectrum. The name neon is derived from the Greek word, Î½Î­Î¿Î½, neuter singular form of Î½Î­Î¿Ï [ neos ], meaning new. Neon is chemically inert and forms no uncharged chemical compounds. During cosmic nucleogenesis of the elements, large amounts of neon are built up from the alpha-capture fusion process in stars.
