Please be more specific. Found by whom?
or do you mean what were the first compounds to occur on earth naturally?
They have most of the compounds found in your body or earth
Oxygen was not found in the atmosphere of primitive Earth. It is so reactive that it became locked up in compounds at the time of Earths formation. These compounds were varied, but the bulk of them were mineral oxides, silicates, carbon dioxide and water. Free oxygen entered the atmosphere only after the development of blue-green algae, which produced oxygen from carbon dioxide.
1. Miller and Urey's organic experiments suggested how mixtures of the organic compounds necessary for life could have arisen from simpler compounds present on a primitive earth haha i found this in our textbook, miller levines textbook :PP
I think its fire earth gorund and water
They are so abundant on earth
Because that is the first place they found it. It is not the only or the first place to actually have water, but Earth is where we found it first.
They were found on Earth.
There is no way of knowing when the first discovery of was. Gold was likely found by hunter-gatherers in a number of locations, long before there were any sort of written records. A gold nugget in a stream bed or a vein in an outcrop would have easily caught a primitive human's eye.
Yes, hydrogen is found in the Earth's atmosphere, but it is present in very small amounts. It makes up about 0.00005% of the atmosphere by volume. The majority of hydrogen on Earth is found in compounds like water and hydrocarbons.
Alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are highly reactive and easily form compounds with elements in the environment. Consequently, they are not found in their pure form in nature. Instead, they are typically found as compounds with other elements such as oxygen or sulfur.
Amongst the living the most primitive vertebrate is the Hagfish.
Uranium is found in the earth only in the form of compounds. Uranium is present in cca. 200 minerals.
