Substances that have a define size and shape and vibrating particles that are close together are called Solid.
Explanation:
There are three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas.
Lets talk about solid state in detail.
In solid particles are closely packed and so they have very less or no space to move which results in vibrating particles. This results in solid substances having a fixed shape and volume.
The particles have very little space in between them, so it is not easy to compress solid.
There is no free space for particles to slide over each other, which does not allow solids to flow.
Also, particles in solid have a regular arrangement, they are not randomly packed.
Answer:
b. Add a few drops of one of the layers to a test tube containing 1 mL of water. Shake the test tube to determine the solubility of the layer in water
Explanation:
Option a is not true, it depends on the compound being extracted.
Option c is not true, although most of the solvents used in extractions have lower boiling point than water there are exceptions, for example toluene.
Option d is not true. Again most of the solvents used in extractions are less dense than water, there are many exceptions, for example chloroform, so for equal volumes the chloroform layer will weigh more.
Option b. is the correct one.
One will test the miscibility of the layer in water. If it inmiscible then one would know is the organic layer. If it is the aqueous layer then it will completely be miscible.

The correct answer is - b. If available resources decrease, then competition will increase.
All living organisms in an ecosystem are specialized in accordance to the living conditions and the food sources available. If a given ecosystem experiences prolonged drought, than the resources will decrease. With a decrease in resources, the living organisms will find themselves in a situation of scarcity. That will lead to a much increased competition, with both organisms of different species, and members of the same species. That will most likely lead to a situation where only the fittest will survive, while the weaker members of the species will probably die in that period of prolonged drought as they will not be able to get the resources they need to survive.
