What is the classification of a violin?
Second Violins. (There is a difference between First and Second violins, but they are still violins. First Violins typically take the high notes, and often the melody, while the second violins play the lower registers and echo the first violins. Sometimes Second Violins take the melody.)
What instrument is closets to the conductor in a orchestrate?
The question should be : What instrument is closest to the conductor in an orchestra? I assume the question refers to a symphonic (philharmonic) orchestra. The answer is that two instruments are closer to the conductor: the first violin (principal of the first violins) on the left, and most of the time, the first cello on the right. I say most of the time, because orchestras are usually put in a layout with the first violins on the left and the cellos on the right. However some orchestras use the distribution of first violins on the left and second violins on the right. In this case the closes instruments would be the first violin (1st violins principal) and the principal of the second violins.

What is the difference between first and second violins?
First violins usually play the melody. They also have notes higher on the fingerboard. Firsts may be more experienced violinists used to playing a larger range of notes. Seconds play alot of the harmony. It is most common to hear them playing lower notes than the first violins. But don't think their harmony is not important, because it is! Both sections contribute to the beauty of the orchesta music.

Where do the viola players sit in a seating chart of the traditional symphony orchestra?
It depends on the size of the orchestra. If you have a larger orchestra, there will be more 1st violins. If you have a smaller orchestra, there will be less 1st violins. Also, it depends on how the conductor decides to split the violins. The conductor may try to split the violins evenly or have one section of violins that is bigger than the other section(s) of violins.
