For each set of elements below, write the element whose atoms will have a stronger attractive force between their outermost electron(s) and the nucleus.
Ba and Ca:
has a stronger attractive force between the outermost electron(s)
and the nucleus
Cr and Cu:
has a stronger attractive force between the outermost electron(s)
and the nucleus
Ar and Xe:
has a stronger attractive force between the outermost electron(s)
and the nucleus

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.
