The+First+Material

 The first material used to make the high-heeled shoe was wood. Wood was not necessarily discovered; for it's what trees are made from, and trees are found all over the world. So, one would not be able to tell when wood was first discovered, used, and what it was used for, because it has for so many different purposes, even thousands of years ago. Even though wood itself is not a compound, many elements make up it's structure. Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus (http://madsci.org/posts/archives/1998-11/911281031.Ch.r.html) are all found in wood, in addition to many other elements. As we said earlier, wood is found all throughout the world, and there are many different types of it, such as pine, oak, spruce, cedar, and redwood. There is no chemical formula, because wood is not composed of identical molecules. Wood impacts society because it has so many different uses. It's used as or in furniture (tables, chairs, sofas), musical instruments (guitars and violins), paper, transportation (boats), and many more things. We use these things in everyday life, such as writing on paper, sitting at a desk, and making our songs in music class. This material IS the environment, but when we use it excessively, we are ruining our way of life by not keeping enough trees. If we cut down too many trees, there won't be enough oxygen supply and there would be too much carbon dioxide in the air. The advantage to using this material is that you can make so many different objects and it has so many uses. the downside to this is that if we use too much, too fast, we end up ruining our air, and it takes a long time for trees to grow back, even if you plant them the second you tear one down .

 Wood is not composed of a bunch of identical molecules, so it has no chemical formula. It turns out that wood contains lignin, an organic polymer which is a name applied to a group of complex organic chemicals. Wood also contains cellulose, which is a polysaccharide with (C6H10O5) as its formula.
