Of the options below, which is generally associated with the lowest boiling temperatures when it is the only type of bond present in a material? a. metallic b. covalent c. London dispersion forces d. ionic

Explanation:

Of all the given forces , london dispersion force is the weakest inter-molecular force which is temporary in nature . This force results due to two adjecent atoms  or molecules becoming dipoles temporarily. This force exists among the atoms of inert gases.

Atoms having this force have lowest boiling point.

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.

i'm pretty sure it is letter c.) car
