b. a lid to cover the coffee mug

d. a ceramic mug filled with coffee

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.

to improve her experimental investigation, dalila should add a row in which no fertilizer is used. by a having a contrasting row in which no fertilizer is used, she will have a control group that will her understand the effects of the fertilizer in the plant developments vs the development of the plant when no fertilizer is used.
