Early Earth was largely anoxic with very little oxygen present in the atmosphere. However, approximately 2 billion years ago, a

rise in atmospheric oxygen concentration was recorded in the geological record. This event, known as the great oxygenation event (GOE), was caused by small microorganisms (cyanobacteria) that likely carried out the process of ____________________ .

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria were the first prokaryotic organisms capable of oxygen-evolving complex. Photosynthesis needs an electron source, in this case water (H2O). By photo-oxidation of the water, oxygen (O2) is released (and hydrogen taken).

This led to the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere where it got to similar concentrations as in these days.

jasenka [17]

Answer: The nonpolar covalent bond happens in an O₂ molecule.

Explanation: Nonpolar bonds happen where there's no difference between the polarity of the atoms involved. This usually happens when the same atoms bond to each other, which explains why the O₂ molecule is the one who has this bond.

The use of lead paint in houses was banned in 1978 due to the health hazards associated with lead, specifically that high levels
arlik [135]

Environmental Chemistry studies the health hazards associated with lead, which  is dangerous to humans.

Environmental Chemistry studies chemicals present in air, water and soil and their  impact on humans and their environment.

Now, it was discovered that even low doses of lead particles in the paint when inhaled or ingested caused damaging effect to the body  such as Impaired balance, seizures, ataxia and even death.

With the role of Environmental chemists in thier research and findings, the world has been informed on the negative effect on the expose of lead and other heavy metals like it  to man and his environment.

The modern view of an electron orbital in an atom can best be described as
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

An orbital is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Explanation:

The orbital is a concept that developed in quantum mechanics. Recall that Neils Bohr postulated that the electron occupied stationary states which he called energy levels. Electrons emit radiation when the move from a higher to a lower energy level. Similarly, energy is absorbed by an electron to move from a lower to a higher orbit.

This idea was upturned by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle state that the momentum and position of a particle can not be simultaneously measured with precision.

Instead of defining a 'fixed position' for the electron, we define a region in space where there is a possibility of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy. This orbital is identified by a set of quantum numbers.
