Which of the following gases was not prevalent in Earth’s atmosphere during the Hadean Eon?
gavmur [86]

<span>The gas which was not prevalent in Earth’s atmosphere during the Hadean Eon is CO2. If you are going to see the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide has the least percentage.
