The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), sometimes also called the Great Oxygenation Event, Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust,[2] or Oxygen Revolution, was a time period when the Earth's atmosphere and the shallow ocean first experienced a rise in oxygen, approximately 2.4 billion years ago (2.4 Ga) to 2.1–2.0 Ga during the Paleoproterozoic era.[3] Geological, isotopic, and chemical evidence suggests that biologically produced molecular oxygen (dioxygen, O2) started to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere and changed Earth's atmosphere from a weakly reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing atmosphere,[4] causing many existing species on Earth to die out.[5] The cyanobacteria producing the oxygen caused the event which enabled the subsequent development of multicellular forms.
Answer:
The five phases of matter. There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much.

Answer:
The diagram shows oxygen, O₂, which consists of two atoms of oxygen in the stratosphere, which are the two beings holding hands, forming a couple being broken up by the intense ultraviolet radiation of the Sun, such that the couple closest to the Sun are the ones that were broken into two O, atoms.
After being broken, the two beings (oxygen atoms), become free to move as they please, making them able to move faster than when they were still a couple. However, due to the likeness for their fellow beings, each of the single O beings rushed to meet the other two still coupled O₂ beings, whereby one O being rushing to meet one O₂ couple each, to form O₃ which is a new group consisting of three beings holding hands known as Ozone
Note, that O stands for atomic oxygen gas
O₂ stands for oxygen gas
O₃ stands for ozone gas
