Absorption and further re-emission of light by inorganic and organic media is the result of phosphorescence or fluorescence. The difference between the phenomena is the length of the interval between light absorption and emission of the stream. During fluorescence, these processes occur almost simultaneously.

As you know, chemistry studies the structure and properties of substances, as well as their mutual transformations. An important place in the characterization of chemical compounds is occupied by the question of what kind of particles they consist of. It can be atoms, ions or molecules. In solids, they enter the nodes of crystal lattices. The molecular structure has a relatively small number of compounds that are in the solid, liquid and gaseous state.

One of the best known and best studied of the paleontological evidence for evolution is the phylogenetic series of modern ungulates. Multiple paleontological finds and identified transitional forms create a scientific evidence base for this series. Described by the Russian biologist Vladimir Onufrievich Kovalevsky back in 1873, the phylogenetic series of the horse remains an “icon” of evolutionary paleontology today.
