atomicity

/ ˌætəˈmɪsɪtɪ /

First recorded in 1860–65; atomic + -ity

It is even more strange that it may now be said of energy that there are signs of atomicity.

So that the most recent researches into electricity confirm and establish the atomicity of the Aether.

Again, Dr. Larmor, in the same work, states that “the atomicity of electricity is coming within the scope of direct experiment.”

Apart, however, from the atomicity of the Aether, it is exceedingly difficult to understand how such a property can belong to it.

The harmonizing of the two theories, therefore, seems to rest upon the atomicity or non-atomicity of the Aether.
