Complete the table below. For example, in the first row decide whether Sc3+ is a cation or anion. In the second row, write the symbol for the ion that an atom of fluorine is mostly likely to form and then decide what type of ion it is. Element Most likely ion
symbol of ion type of ion (cation or anion)
Scandium Sc^{3+}
Fluorine
Sulfur
Calcium
Sodium

Most likely ion symbol for given element is as follows.

Explanation:

When an element loses an electron in order to acquire stability then it is called a cation. Metals always form cations and cations have a positive charge.

For example, scandium is a metal and is a cation.

Atomic number of calcium is 20 (2, 8, 8, 2). So, it loses 2 electrons to acquire stability and hence forms ion.

Atomic number of sodium is 11 (2, 8, 1). So, it loses 1 electron to acquire stability and hence forms ion.

When an element gains an electron in order to complete its octet then it is called an anion. Non-metals always form anions and anions have a negative charge.

For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 (2, 7). So, it will gain one electron to acquire stability and hence forms ion.

Atomic number of sulfur is 16 (2, 8, 6). So, it will gain 2 electrons to acquire stability and hence forms ion.

Thus, we can conclude that most likely ion symbol for each given element is as follows.

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.
