Answer : The oxidizing element is N and reducing element is O. 

KNO_{3} is act as an oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.

Explanation :

An Oxidizing agent is the agent which has ability to oxidize other or a higher in oxidation number.

Reducing agent is the agent which has ability to reduce other or lower in oxidation number.

The given reaction is :

KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}

KNO_{3}  act as an oxidizing agent.

The oxidation number of N in KNO_{3} is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+3(-2) = 0

x = +5

And the oxidation number of N in KNO_{2}  is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+2(-2) = 0

x = +3

From the oxidation number method, we conclude that the oxidation number  reduced this means KNO_{3} itself get reduced to KNO_{2} and it can act as an oxidizing agent.

KNO_{3}  act as a reducing agent.

KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}

The oxidation number of O in KNO_{3} is calculated as:

(+1)+(+5)+3(x) = 0

x = -2

The oxidation number of O in O_{2} is Zero (o).

Now, we conclude that the oxidation number increases this means KNO_{3} itself get oxidized to O_{2} and it can act as reducing agent.

Answer:

The correct answer is - scientific law.

Explanation:

A scientific law is an explanation to a well observed phenomenon of the world which is found true every time tested and universal proven fact, but the reason behind the phenomenon and its existence.

To explain the scientific law there will be various explanation that are called scientific theory, however these theories can not be proved.

Thus, the correct answer is - scientific law.

In the periodic table which elements typically have similar properties
rosijanka [135]
Elements which appear in the same column have similar properties (periodicity). For example, all of the elements in group XVII (17), the Halogens, all react in a similar fashion; they all like to attract one additional electron and form a -1 anion.

Answer:

a scientific question

Procedure

Conclusion.

Explanation:

Scientific investigation is usually carried out to explain and give answers to natural phenomenon. Now, this scientific investigation is performed through the three main types as described in the question.

With that being said, the most common parts of all types of investigation are :

1. Scientific question: In this stage, questions are usually asked on the basis of observation made which could be answered.

2. Procedure: In this stage, the dimension of the steps are followed to answer and test the scientific question.

3. Conclusion: This is the primary aim that we check when done with our sample values
