Answer:
A. Superposition
Explanation:
A law of geochronology, stating that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks deposited in layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest on bottom, each layer being younger than the one beneath it and older than the one above it.
Answer is: intramolecular attractions are stronger.
Intramolecular attractions are the forces between atoms in molecule.
There are several types of intramolecular forces: covalent bonds, ionic bonds.
Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.
There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.
Hydrogen bonds are approximately 5% of the bond strength of covalent C-C or C-H bonds.
Hydrogen bonds strength in water is approximately 20 kJ/mol, strenght of carbon-carbon bond is approximately 350 kJ/mol and strengh of carbon-hydrogen bond is approximately 340 kJ/mol.
20 kJ/350 kJ = 0.057 = 5.7 %.

Answer:
The thermodynamic parameter which is of significance in this case is the 'Reduction Potential' for molecular bromine which is ~ +1.1 v vs N.H.E. In other words, it is a strong oxidizing agent. The bromine will oxidize sulfur compounds in which the valence of sulfur is lower than six to sulfate.
There are many possible reactions. Here is one possible example:
Na2 S2O3 + 4Br2 + 5 H2O = 2NaHSO4 + 8 HBr
