Question

questions 3 and 4) identify the independent and dependent variables in this experiment for the graph. match the appropriate option with each variable. more choices are provided than will be used. 1. paramagnetic 2. diamagnetic 3. electrons 4. orbital diagrams 5. change in mass observed 6. electron configurations 7. magnetism 8. number of unpaired electrons independent variable dependent variable

Explanation:

The independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or changed in an experiment. The number of unpaired electrons can be determined by electron - configurations and orbital diagrams and can be used to predict magnetism. Magnetism (paramagnetic or diamagnetic) depends on the number of unpaired electrons. So, the number of unpaired electrons is the independent variable and magnetism is the dependent variable.

Answer:

Independent Variable: 8. Number of Unpaired Electrons
Dependent Variable: 7. Magnetism
