What type of bonding occurs in a sample of pure chromium, cr? in other words, how is one chromium atom held to another chromium atom?

Chromium is a metal in nature. So when one chromium is bonded to another chromium, there is a weak intermolecular forces which helds them together which we call as “metallic bonding”.

Metallic bonding is the intermolecular force of attraction which exist between valence electrons and the metal atoms. It is considered as the sharing of various detached electrons between many positive ions, whereby the electrons serve as a "glue" which gives the substance a definite structure.

sry but any answer choices

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.
