The History (and Pre-history) of the Discovery and Chemistry of the Noble Gases (2021)

unapi

The existence of the then-so-called inert gases was discovered over a short period of time in the 1890s; the demonstration that they were in fact not inert took place during an even shorter period of time, in 1962. This paper surveys the key events, as well as some of the earlier work that led up to them, of those two crucial episodes in the history of chemistry.
