Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond: a. carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide b. carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide < carbonate ion c. carbonate ion < carbon monoxide < carbon dioxide d. carbonate ion < carbon monoxide < carbon dioxide e. carbon dioxide < carbonate ion < carbon monoxide f. carbon monoxide < carbon dioxide < carbonate ion g. carbon monoxide < carbonate ion < carbon dioxide

the answer would be a

the answer for sodium is 0.186

the answer for rubidium is 0.251

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.
