What is the electrostatic potential energy (Eel) of the ionic bond between a Ca2+ ion and a S2– ion in joules? Before you do the calculation, predict whether the result you get will be less than (more negative) or greater than (less negative) than the Eel value for KCl. The ionic radii of Ca2+ and of S2– are 100 pm and 184 pm, respectively.

Explanation:hshshshh

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.
