Most chemists were more comfortable with speculations about movements of atoms than with flows of aether squirts. In particular, the idea of hydrogen atom mobility was to become a leading theme in late-nineteenth-century organic chemistry, based in the work of Williamson at midcentury. Williamson s investigations of etherification led him to a theory of the water "type" as well as to experimental proof that water is H20, not HO. Williamson clearly expressed the idea of chemical equilibrium as a balance between two sets of molecules in which some atoms or (uncharged) radicals may exist freely for short periods of time.43 In addition to its uncontestable central role in the "quiet revolution" of the 1850s,44 this was a paper that inspired both chemists and physicists to think about the "degree and kind of motion"45 of atoms within the molecule as well as the motion of the molecule as a whole.
