They vibrate abour fixed points.

Since particles have charges that attract each other it stays intact.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, it is known that in solids strong intermolecular forces of attraction exists because of which particles are much closer to each other. Hence, they have definite shape and volume.

Particles of a solid are unable to move from their initial position unless an external force is applied to them. So, when no external force is applied then particles of a solid tend to vibrate at their fixed points.

Hence, we can conclude that particles tend to move in solids as they vibrate about fixed points.

In atomic solids where the lattice points are occupied by Group 8 ( 18) atoms, the atoms are held together by __________ forces.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

London dispersion forces

Explanation:

There are different forces of attraction that helps to hold atoms or Molecules of a particular substance together. Some of the forces of attraction are ionic/ electrovalent bond, covalent bond, vander waals forces of attraction and so on.

Under the vander waals forces of attraction we have what is known as the London dispersion forces. This force of attraction is a very weak and it is commonly found in the atoms of noble gases.

The intermolecular force of attraction in which we are talking about that is london dispersion forces is formed as a result of the formation of non-polar dipoles which are not permanent.

1. In the first step of the mechanism for this process, a phenoxide anion is generated. This phenoxide anion goes on to act as a

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

In this case, in order to get an elimination reaction we need to have a strong base. In this case, the base is the phenoxide ion produced the phenol (see figure 1).

Due to the resonance, we will have a more stable anion therefore we will have a less strong base because the negative charge is moving around the molecule (see figure 2).

Finally, the phenoxide will attack the primary carbon attached to the Cl. The C-Cl bond would be broken and the C-O would be produced at the same time to get a substitution (see figure 1).
