Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.

II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)
and
III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)
will form covalent bonds, so the answer will be:
e. II and III
Explanation:
To know is what type of bond is formed between atoms we need to look at the electronegativity difference between the atoms.
If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 there is a nonpolar covalent bond.
If the electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.8 there is a polar covalent bond. (if is a metal involved we consider the bond to be ionic)
If the electronegativity difference is greater then 1.8 there is an ionic bond.
We have the following cases:
I. lithium (Li) and sulfur (S)
electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 1 (Li) = 1.5 but because there is a metal involved the bond will be ionic
II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)
electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 2.5 (C) = 0 so the bond will be nonpolar covalent
III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)
electronegativity difference = 4 (F) - 3.5 (O) = 0.5 so the bond will be polar covalent bond.
