Ether was accidentally spilled on the laboratory bench. Why, after a while, the smell of ether began to be clearly felt in a distant corner of the room?

Ether evaporates very well, so when it was spilled on the laboratory bench, it quickly went into a gaseous state. Due to diffusion, ether molecules quickly spread throughout the room. Therefore, when working with substances like ether, you need to choose a well-ventilated area.
