Elements in the same group have D. Same number of valence electrons.
Answer:
Growth rate
Explanation:
The responding variable, also known as the DEPENDENT VARIABLE, is the variable that responds to changes or manipulations made to another variable (independent or manipulable variable) in the experiment. It is the measured variable of an experiment.
According to the hypothesis provided for this investigation, the scientist wants to determine if the amount of fertilizer plants of the same species receive will affect their growth rate when planted in the same condition. This shows that the independent variable is the amount of fertilizer to be used while the RESPONDING VARIABLE OR DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the GROWTH RATE OF THE PLANTS because it responds to the amount of fertilizer.
It is in the 8th row of the periodic table
Option (a) is correct.
A reducing agent is the one which loses electrons to other substance and an oxidizing agent is one which accepts electrons.
Here, In

, Cr has oxidation number 6+ in the L.H.S of the equation, but on R.H.S its oxidation number is 0 i.e. it Cr has gained electrons such that total charge is 0.
And the oxidation state of Al in the left-hand side of equation is 0 and in right-hand side, it is +6.i.e. it has donated its electrons to Cr.
Hence, Cr is the oxidizing agent and Al is the reducing agent.
