Answer:

In a research there are two variables independent and dependent variable. independent variable is defined as the variable which is controlled and changed in a scientific experiment and evaluate the effects on the dependent variable while the variable which are tested and measured in experiment are called dependent variable.

When antibiotic is sprayed at one side of the petri dish, the bacterial growth on that side will eventually decrease in comparison to other side.

So, the independent variable in this experiment will be antibiotic because it is used to understand the growth of bacteria by decreasing their numbers and the dependent variable in this experiment will be bacteria as they vary according to the change in independent variable that is antibiotic.

Which element is most likely to be a nonreactive gas?
aniked [119]

Answer:

Xe

Explanation:

Cs and Na are solids in room temperature while F and Xe are gases.

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom will determine its reactivity. Out of the gases given Xe and F, F ( the most electronegative element) posses 5 valence shell electrons which makes it highly reactive while Xe which is a noble gas posses 8 valence shell electrons which makes it less reactive compared to many elements.
