Abstract. Very few students who study chemistry know the history behind the experimental design and discovery of the noble gases. In this paper, an effort is made to give this perspective through a description of the work done on the discovery of krypton, neon and xenon during the late spring and summer of the year 1898.
Key Words: Chemistry and History; discovery of the noble gases
