Prior the Maxwell's explanation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves, those waves that scientists were familiar with required a medium for their propagation. They therefore proposed the existence of ether through which waves such as light could move.
Space was once believed to be filled with ether. Ether is a colorless and odorless liquid gas that is highly flammable.
Neither, its a pure substance
Ether is a compound which is created by the condensation of alcohols. It was first discovered in 1275, by Raymundus Lullis, and was put into use as a medical anesthetic in 1842 by Crawford Williamson Long. Aether (pronounced like ether) is a non-existing substance, which early physicists believed filled the universe.
No. Evaporation of ether or any other substance is a physical change as the identity of the substance remains the same.
ether
Ether is indeed a pure substance rather than a mixture. The boiling point of ether is 94.28 degrees Fahrenheit or 34.6 degrees Celsius.
Ether is a volatile liquid that is colorless and highly flammable. It has a sweet smell and is commonly used as a solvent and anesthetic.
Polar. the C-O bond are polar
Ether is not a physical object or substance, so it does not have a color. It is a hypothetical medium through which electromagnetic waves are thought to propagate.
What scientists thought was in the empty parts of space, until Einstein corrected them. Or an ether can refer to an organic molecule in which two hydrocarbon chains are bonded to an oxygen atom.
The "ether" is a hypothetical substance, postulated in the past to explain the propagation of electromagnetic waves such as light. The word is hardly used nowadays. Empty space takes over this role, but it doesn't have all the properties that were expected of the ether in the past.
Ether. Then God created the Ethernet and caught every orbiting fish!
