With no nuclear fusion to sustain them, they collapse into Earth - size balls of tightly bound carbon and oxygen nuclei with an outer layer of hydrogen plasma (disrupted atoms).
Instead of a hydrophilic alcohol group (an oxygen - hydrogen molecule bound to a hydrogen - saturated carbon atom), the final lignin polymer contained a hydrophobic aldehyde group (a carbon atom double - bonded to an oxygen atom).
For example, in water (H2O) the sole oxygen atom is bound to two hydrogen atoms, and the two bonds constantly change in length.
Free oxygen is not bound to another element, as are the oxygen atoms in other atmospheric gases like carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
An atmospheric water molecule can be broken apart by sunlight, releasing the two hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atom that they had been bound to.

Above 140 ° F, myoglobin loses its ability to bind oxygen, and the iron atom at the center of its molecular structure loses an electron.
Obviously when two oxygen atoms are coupled to a carbon atom it now acts as a pseudo-Tachyon; a carbon atom knows when it is going to be oxidized in the future and it knows the future atmospheric temperature equilibrium point, so while not bound to oxygen suck up heat and then store it and then when burnt, wait a few decades, and release the heat they have been storing up while sitting in coal veins or in oil formations.
