) The dissociation energy (from the zero-point level) of ground-state O2 is 5.09 eV. There exists an electronically excited state of O2 whose zero-point level lies 6.21 eV above the zero-point level of the ground state. The ground-state molecule dissociates into two ground state O atoms, while the excited state of O2 dissociates into one O and one O* (electronically excited) atom. O* lies 1.97 eV above O. Sketch the potential energy curves and calculate the dissoc

it would be d. henry moseley

hope this !

and sorry if i'm late. have a good rest of your day! : d

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.

l dont know l am s sorry
