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.
