Argon, the first noble gas in the periodic table to be isolated, was named after the Greek word for lazy after it was found to be totally unreactive. William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh earned the 1904 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and Physics respectively for its discovery. The pair’s discovery made them realise that the recently formed periodic table was missing a whole class of elements – the inert noble gases. After isolating another noble gas – helium – Ramsay predicted others based on the periodic table and went on to establish the existence of neon ('the new one'), krypton ('the hidden one') and xenon ('the strange one').
