Ether is a colourless liquid that burns easily. It is used in industry and in medicine as an anaesthetic. a sweetish smell of ether and iodine. Any of a class of organic compounds whose molecular structure has an oxygen atom interposed between two carbon atoms that are part of hydrocarbon molecules. Ethers have the general chemical formula ROR, in which R and R represent the hydrocarbons. They resemble alcohols but generally are less dense, less soluble in water, more volatile, and more inert. They are used in chemical processing, for extraction and separation of chemicals, and as solvents. Some are used as insecticides and soil fumigants. They are also used in medicine and pharmacology. Codeine is the methyl ether of morphine. The term ether often refers to ethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5), best known as an anesthetic but also used as a solvent, an extractant, and a reaction medium
a colorless volatile highly inflammable liquid formerly used as an inhalation anesthetic a medium that was once supposed to fill all space and to support the propagation of electromagnetic waves any of a class of organic compounds that have two hydrocarbon groups linked by an oxygen atom
A medium of great elasticity and extreme tenuity, supposed to pervade all space, the interior of solid bodies not excepted, and to be the medium of transmission of light and heat; hence often called luminiferous ether
