Acetyl chloride undergoes nucleophilic substitution at a faster rate than methyl acetate because: A) the ester is more sterically hindered than the acid chloride.
B) the acid chloride is more sterically hindered than the ester.
C) the methoxide is a better leaving group than chloride.
D) esters hydrolyze faster than acid chlorides.
E) chloride is a better leaving group than methoxide.

particle   p is an electron and particle q is a neutron

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
