1. Write a mechanism for the E1 elimination reaction of 2-methylcyclohexanol with phosphoric acid. Be as complete as possible and show electron flow for all steps. You should clearly indicate the mechanistic pathways that lead to each of the products formed in the reaction (there is no need to duplicate common steps, but at some point the pathways diverge).

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

where are the choice options?

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
