What is the noble gas electron configuration of aluminum (Al)? OA.
[Ne] 3s2 3p1

O B. [Ne] 2s2 2p1

O c.
[Ar]3s2 3p1

OD. [Ar] 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

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.

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it
