Which statement is always true of the cathode in an electrochemical cell? Reduction occurs here. It is considered the "negative" electrode. Negative ions flow toward the cathode. Metal is plated out here. It is considered the "positive" electrode.

It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.

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.

the answer would be a
