what accolades did he receive?
The 1904 Nobel Prize in Physics
John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh
Among many honors, he received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his investigations of the densities of the most important gases and for his discovery of argon in connection with these studies." 
where does argon come from and how is it extracted Argon comes from the air and it is produced industrially by the fractional distillation of liquid air in a cryogenic air separation unit can you state any of its features? It is colorless, odorless, nonflammable and nontoxic as a solid, liquid or gas. It is chemically inert under most conditions and forms no confirmed stable compounds at room temperature. by whom was it discovered? Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay what was the full name of the former? John William Strutt where was he from? England what was his profession? Scientist; was a President of the Royal Society; and Chancellor of the University of Cambridge.

John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh [SEP] Introduction
John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, (; 12 November 1842 – 30 June 1919), was a British scientist who made extensive contributions to both theoretical and experimental physics. He spent all of his academic career at the University of Cambridge. Among many honors, he received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his investigations of the densities of the most important gases and for his discovery of argon in connection with these studies." He served as President of the Royal Society from 1905 to 1908 and as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from 1908 to 1919. Rayleigh provided the first theoretical treatment of the elastic scattering of light by particles much smaller than the light's wavelength, a phenomenon now known as "Rayleigh scattering", which notably explains why the sky is blue.
