Hopkins of Drexel Institute. Argon. | A little less than five years ago it was ! reported to_the Royal Society by Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh that a new gas had been discovered in the atmosphere. The small quantity in ch it occurred and its remarkable reluctance to unite with other elements were the reasons for fts having remained so long unrecognized. althcugh it was probably obtained in a somewhat Impure state more than a cen- tury ago. Nitrogen, when from 18 compounds lighter than the extracted chemically is about 4 per cent rogen obtained from air. This was marked by the experi- menters, and in Ramsay's words: When the discrepancy of weights was first encountered attempts were naturally made to explain it by contamination with koown im- purities. Of these the most likely appeared to be hydrogen, present in the lighter gas. * * ¢ But inasmuch as the intentional intro- { duction of hydrogen into the heavier gas. afterward treated in the same way, had no effect upon its weight, this explanation had | to be abandoned | The question then arose, What is the actual evidence that the substance re- maining after the removal from air of the | known substances, except nitrogen, is all | of one kind? Cavendish, experimenting | with air mere than 100 years ago, got a small residue, and concluded that there is any part of the phlogisticat of our atmosphere which differs from the rest and cannot be reduced to | acid, we may safely conclude that ft is not | more than 1-120 part of the whole.” With | this conclusion he appears to have been | satisfled, although probably this small part contained the gas now called argon | " Ramsay and Rayleigh obtained portions from air by different methods, measured the density and examined the spectrum. The spectrum, that most delicate of all tests, showed a substance which certainly was not nitrogen, but it was for some time doubtful whether it was an element, | a compound or & mixture. Samples of the | new gas were very carefully examined by | Crookes and the spectrum was found to | present some peculiarities. The “‘physical constants,” as they are called, were de- termined by Olozewoki. There was evi- | dence on both sides. | | found in the spectra of other stars. | | although some of them are The prominent of these lines is a bright vellow line recurring very close to the yellow lines due to sodium. This line is known as D3, and was ascribed to the un- known element in question, which, from the earth, | its existence in the sun was called hellum. | | nitrous | The epectrum of the new gas was care- fully rn‘rm‘jmred with that of argon, and Crookes determined by exact measure- ment that the bright yellow line was identical with the line D3. Then Lockyer, who had discovered the D2 line in 1868 and named the substance produecing it helium, prepared some of the gas from minerals, and concluded from his observations that the nature of the gases obtained was not simple and “that the gases composing the mixtures are by no means the only ones we may hope to obtain There seemed reason to expect the discovery of other gases of a similar nature. “We appear to be In the presence of the vera causa,” not of two or three, but of many of the lines which so far have been classed as unknown by students both of 2 And if this confirmed we vy in_the presence of a new order of gases of the highest importance to celestial chemistry, though perhaps they may be of small practical value to chemists, becausg their compounds and associated elements are for the most part hidden earth’s interior.” Helium was very difficult to liquefy and was condensed by Dewar only by placing it in liquid hydrogen. Tts boiling point has not been determined, but is probably near that of hydrogen. It forms a liquid which is colorless in small quantit deep in the Large quantities have not been abtained. Helium is probably widely distributed in Te very small quantities and seldom free. is lighter than any known gas except hy drogen. and for this reason and because of its inertness it is not found in the at- mosphere. It would fly off into space. Other New Gases. In one of his papers on helilum Ramsay says that the comparison of Its spectrum with that of argon “may point to tha conclusion that argen is a mixture.” Re- cently. in 1S9, four new gases were ob- tained from argon. They were called krypton, neon, metargon and xemon, and are considered by their discoverers, Ram- say and Travers, elementary substances. Metargon was first seen as a white solid in the evaporation of liquid argon, but little more than the name is known of any of them. At about the same time Brush an- nounced the discovery of a substanc the | | | | | | Iwhh—h was supposed to be a new gas.

Further search for compounds of argon led to a new discovery. it had been found that a certain rare mineral, a compound of uranium, could be made to produce a gas supposed to be nitrogen. The reported | action of this gas led Ramsay to examine | the mineral in question, and he obtained a gas which proved to be a mixture of | argon and hellum. | Helium is a gas which had up to that time been considered either as entirely absent from the earth or as contained in chemical combination far out of reach in the intericr, although it was known to exist in the sun, from which it derived its name.
