"sodium hydroxide is a strong base because it absorbs more" ions than weak bases.

Hydrogen ions

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction is actually a reaction between hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions to form water.

H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) > H2O(l)

A strong base can absorb more hydrogen ions than a weak base to form more water molecules as shown above.

That is the difference between a weak base and a strong base.

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.

c
