An antenna is an electric device that involves two way communication. It converts electricity into radio waves and vice versa.

Antennae is used to smell and feel.
No. Insects "taste" with their antennae - which can function to both taste and smell, but they don't have actual taste buds

Wings, a pair of antennae, proboscis, legs and the abdomen.
Most are black. Some species of butterflies have different colors on their antennae. Great Southern White butterflies have light blue tips to their antenna. Some are striped. The antennae get their color from scales, like the rest of the butterfly.
A chelicerate does not have antennae because it is missing the nerve bundle that would control that structure. Instead, chelicerates use setae to detect changes in air currents and provide equivalents to smell and taste.
Antennae on some organisms can smell as well as feel.
To smell
The main function of the bee's antennae is to smell. With their antennae the honey bee can detect odors and sometimes even the direction of the odor. Another important function of the bee's antennae is as an instrument to measure their flight speed. It is also believed a bee's antennae are sensitive to vibrations.
Antennae- Sensory FunctionsMouth- Feeding
Smell. Arthropods use their antennae to smell the air. Think of a male moth or mosquito's feathery antennae - those are mainly for sniffing out a female's pheromones, for example. Another is touch.
its a sensory tool. For easier understanding you could call them their hands.
Antenae of insects are chemo- rerceptor , vibration receptors and thermo receptors .
Arachnids do not have any antennae as such, but do have pedipalps, which serve a similar function. Pedipalps are appendages attached to the head segment which frequently resemble a smaller set of legs.
Antennae on arthropods perform sensory functions. In insects they detect moisture, temperature, and have olfactory functions; in crustaceans there are chemical receptors which function similar to our taste and smell for molecules drifting in seawater. There are also sensory receptors in many arthropod antennae which detect the amount of force from muscle action and the degree of bending and thus provide the touch sense. Some butterflies have a solar compass in their antennae, used for navigation.

crayfish have six antennae
Mollusks do not have antennae at all. Insects have antennae.
