The compound that was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by Cyanobacteria and iron are the metals of the earths crust. Cyanobacteria was the first organisms that used water instead of hydrogen sulfide or other compounds as a source of electrons and hydrogen for fixing carbon dioxide. Early Cyanobacteria inhabited marine sediments where Archean banded iron formations were deposited; consisting of reddish layers rich in iron oxide.
Ionization energy, also called ionization potential, in chemistry, the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule
Carbon is a non metal and also has four valence electrons.
C. Physical changes do not change the identity of a substance, only the physical appearance such as shape or form. If you break a pencil in half, it is still composed of the same material and therefore keeps its identity as the substance it was before the physical change. Phase changes, such as ice melting, is also a physical change because it changes form. But ice is still made of H20 just like water and steam are comprised of H20.
