After earning his Ph.D. at Tubingen at the age of 19, he began research on pyridine, and was one of the first to suggest a good explanation for Brownian motion. Along with Soddy, he argued that excess helium might be connected to radioactivity, and the two of them did work on "emanation," a gas linked to thorium and radium.

FTP, identify this British chemist, who followed up on Rayleigh's consideration of the discrepancy between atmospheric and pure nitrogen by postulating a new heavy gas, leading to his discovery of argon, helium, krypton, neon, and xenon.
