A chemical formula contains information on the types and spatial arrangement of bonds in the chemical. It also tells you what elements are in the chemical, and how many atoms of each. The spatial arrangement is not necessarily very obvious from the formula, e.g. C2H5OH does not tell you much about the spatial arrangement of the bonds. A chemical formula contains information on the types and spatial arrangement of bonds in the chemical.
All modern amphibians are included in the subclass Lissamphibia, which is usually considered a clade, a group of species that have evolved from a common ancestor. The three modern orders are Anura (the frogs and toads), Caudata (or Urodela, the salamanders), and Gymnophiona (or Apoda, the caecilians).
While most species today are terrestrial, the first tetrapods were fully aquatic. Amphibians today generally remain semiaquatic, living the first stage of their lives as fish-like tadpoles. Amniotes evolved about 340 million years ago (crown amniotes 318 mya), and their descendants drove most amphibians to extinction.etrapod-like vertebrates first appeared in the early Devonian period. These early stem-tetrapods would have been animals similar to Ichthyostega, with legs and lungs as well as gills, but still primarily aquatic and unsuited to life on land.
