What element has the electron configuration 1s22s22p63523p64523d4? A. Chromium (Cr)
B. Magnesium (Mg)
C. Manganese (Mn)
D. Iron (Fe)

Explanation:

It's none of these.

Cr- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d5

Mg- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

Mn - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d5

Fe- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6

I think there's a mistake in the question.

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.
