Who were the two scientists that experimented to synthesize organic molecules abiotically? How did they provide the probable condition of the primitive earth in this experiment?
Urey and Miller tried to create in the laboratory similar conditions which might have existed in the early primitive atmosphere. A mixture of water vapors methane, ammonia, and hydrogen is exposed to electric discharge in a closed chamber, this fluid thus formed is allowed to stand for several weeks as a result, amino acids e.g. glycerine and alanine are formed from the fluid. They suggested that electric discharge produced during lightning in the primitive atmosphere of the earth might have resulted in the formation of organic compounds.
