Answer:
            Six electrons are transferred in the formation of Al₂O₃.

Explanation:
                   Aluminium metal and Oxygen react to form Al₂O₃ as,

                                2 Al  +  3/2 O₂    →    Al₂O₃

Oxidation number of Al on left hand side is zero, while than on right hand side in Al₂O₃ is +3. Means it has lost 3 electrons per one atom and six electrons per two atoms. Also, the oxidation number of O at left hand side in O₂ is zero, while that in Al₂O₃ it is -2 per atom and -6 per 3 atoms. 

So, two Al atoms have lost 6 electrons and 3 O atoms have gained six electrons.

1. The answer is option E, that is None of the above is correct.

As a polymer becomes more crystalline,

its melting point doesn't decreases, its density doesn't decreases, its stiffness doesn't decreases and its yield stress doesn't decreases.

2. The answer is option B, that is the molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

In the smectic A liquid-crystalline phase, molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

3.  For a substitutional alloy to form, the two metals combined must have similar atomic radii and chemical bonding properties.
