 * Discovery:**In June, Ramsay and Travers next solidified some of their precious fifteen liters of Argon by surrounding it with liquid air boiling under reduced pressure. They then collected the first of the Argon to vaporize. This had a complex spectra with many lines in red, a number of faint green, and some in violet. The yellow line is fairly bright, and persists at very high vacuum.
 * Name:** Ramsay's 13-year-old son asked, "What are you going to call the new gas? I should like to call it Novum." Ramsay liked the suggestion but, wanting to maintain the chemical family's suffix -on, called it Neon. Neos means new in Greek.
