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.

Explanation:
Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. On the other hand, atomic number of iodine is 53 and its electronic configuration is
.
Hence, there are 7 valence electrons in an iodine atom and there are 2 valence electrons in a magnesium atom.
So, one atom of iodine requires one electron from a donor atom to complete its octet. But one magnesium atom contains two valence electrons.
Therefore, one magnesium atom will combine with two iodine atoms to result in the formation of magnesium iodide as follows.

Therefore, an ionic bond will be formed when magnesium reacts with iodine to make magnesium iodide.
Answer:
39
Explanation:
Electrons weigh almost nothing, so their mass doesn't really matter for these types of problems. Just subtract 118-79 to find the remaining mass which is for the neutrons.
