(ii) False statement.
(iii) True statement.
An object gets a charge when it is rubbed. This rubbing causes the objects to gain or lose electrons. When it loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When an object gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.
Like charges repel and unlike charges attract
Electrons can be transferred from one atom to another atom of same substance or even other atom of different substance
