(1) Silica gel adsorbs moisture
(2) True
(3) True. (Bonds weaken on the surface)
(4) True
(5) True (Chemisorption needs activation energy.
(6) True, physisorption is due to weak attractive forces, hence it occurs little father from surface atoms in comparison to chemisorption. Moreover the decrease in potential energy is more in chemisorption than in physisorption.
