solids have particles that are closely packed to each other that they can barely move

Explanation:

Solids are the species that contain particles with strong electrostatic force of attraction. As a result, particles are much more closer to each other and unable to move easily from their initial place.

Hence, solids occupy definite shape and volume.

Whereas in liquid state, particles are held slightly lose as compared to in solids. As a result, particles of a liquid are able to slide past each other and they have a fixed volume as they occupy the shape of container in which they are poured.

Thus, we can conclude that solid phase of matter consists of particles that are locked into place and unable to move past each other.

Write the mechanism of the reaction of methyl benzoate to form methyl 2-nitrobenzoate.

Igoryamba

The question is incorrect, nitration of methylbenzoate occurs at 3 position to get, methyl 3-nitrobenzoate.

This is because, in present reaction the reactant i.e. methylbenzoate, has low electron density at m-position.

Due to this, NO2+ prefentially attaches m-position to form methyl 3-nitro benzoate as the product.

A detailed reaction mechanism for formation of product is provided below.

Answer: Mechanical waves can be Longitudinal or Transverse.

Explanation: So... a mechanical wave is a kind of wave that is a oscillation of matter. Mechanical waves can also transfer energy. However, while it still can transfer over long distances, the wave is limited. it means that the oscillation material is limited. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave or a surface wave. but since there is only Longitudinal or Transverse that should be your answer.

A transverse wave, its a wave that particles move up and down.

A Longitudinal wave is a wave that moves back and forth.

Fractions of crude oil

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Fractions. There are several ways of classifying the useful fractions that are distilled from crude oil. One general way is by dividing into three categories: light, middle, and heavy fractions. Heavier components condense at higher temperatures and are removed at the bottom of the column.
