nd 2-methylfuran.

Answer:

3-methylthiophene > thiophene > benzene > 2-methylfuran

Explanation:

Primarily, five membered heterocyclic aromatic rings undergo nitration at carbon-2. This is because, nitration at carbon-2 leads to the formation of three resonance structures while attack at carbon-3 yields only two resonance structures, hence it is less stabilized.

The presence of a methyl group which donates electrons promotes the stabilization of the cation formed in the nitration of 3-methylthiophene.

2-methylfuran is the least reactive towards nitration because the 2-position has been blocked by a methyl group.

BEST GETS BRAINLIEST!!

Gee.  I'll have to guess at what's "commonly thought".

One thing is the scale.  Nobody has an accurate picture of the scale in
his head, because we never see a true-scale drawing.  THAT's because
it's almost impossible to draw one on paper.

Example:
Shrink the solar system and everything in it so that the Sun
is the size of a quarter (the 25¢ coin).
Then:
-- The Earth is in orbit around the sun, 8.6 feet from it. 
That's close enough that you might think you could find the
shrunken Earth.  Unfortunately, it's only 0.009 inch in diameter.

-- The shrunken Jupiter is a 'huge' gas giant almost 0.1 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 45 feet away from it.

-- The shrunken Uranus is another gas giant, about 0.035 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 165 feet away from it.

-- The nearest star outside of the solar system is 441 MILES away !
On the same shrunken scale !
And there's NOTHING between here and there !  

I think that's the biggest point to make about the REAL solar system ...
its utter emptiness.  With the sun reduced to something you can hold
in your hand, the planets are the size of grains of sand, with hundreds
of feet of nothingness between them.

Same for its mass:  The solar system is approximately nothing but a star.
That's it.  A star, with some dust and some gas around it, and here and there
in the neighborhood a microscopic pebble or a chip of mineral.  But mostly
it's nothing but a star ... if you went around and gathered up all that other
rubbish in the same bag and called it a part of the same solar system, the
sun would still have more than 99% of the total mass, and the bag would
hold less than 1% of it.

Book ... It's getting late, Hillary's fading, and that's all I can think of.
I hope this much is some help.

What happens to the temperatures when we have direct sunlight vs indirect sunlight?
lawyer [7]

Explanation:

When we have direct sunlight, the temperature is higher compared to indirect sunlight.

Direct sunlight is usually overhead whereas indirect sunlight is at an angle to the surface.

  • Direct sunlight impacts the surface with more energy concentrated on a smaller surface area.
  • This warms the surface more.
  • Indirect sunlight is diffuse and spreads over a wider area.
  • This leads to a reduction in temperature.
