A group of experimental subjects that is not exposed to a chemical or treatment being investigated so that it can be compared with experimental groups that are exposed to the chemical or treatment.
cw: An experimental control may be the control group. In general, the experimental control is something that allows you to say that the treatment effects on the experimental group are due to the treatments, rather than anything else.
In an experiment, the standard used to compare with the outcome is called the control group. The control group is a group that is not exposed to the experimental treatment and is used as a baseline for comparison to determine the effects of the treatment on the experimental group.
Control variables are kept constant throughout an experiment to ensure that any changes in the dependent variable are due to the manipulation of the independent variable. Experimental variables, on the other hand, are the factors that are deliberately changed by the researcher to observe their effect on the dependent variable.
The factor that distinguishes the experimental group from the control group is a variable. Specifically, it is the independent variable that is manipulated in the experimental group to observe its effect, while the control group remains unchanged to provide a baseline for comparison. A conclusion, hypothesis, and theory are related to the research process but do not serve this distinguishing purpose.
In a scientific experiment it is common to split your sample into (at least) two groups. Say you were to study the effect of a new drug on a specific condition, you would have a sample (a group of people with the condition in question e.g. breast cancer), and you would treat all members of the sample the same, with the exception that one group is give the actual drug, and the other group is given a "fake" pill. This fake pill is also called a placebo. The group that is given the real drug is called the experimental group, and the group that is give the placebo is called the control group. This setup attempts to ensure that any effect that is observed is caused by the drug (the experimental condition).
The control group in a scientific experiment is used as a baseline for comparison against the experimental group. It allows researchers to determine whether any changes or effects observed in the experimental group are due to the manipulated variable and not to other external factors.
experimental control
The experimental control is what you compare your experimental data with. Without the control, you can't tell if the variable you are testing is what is causing your results.

control setup
pure -absolute control Quasi -have some control
the control group does not receive receive an experimental treatment but stay in the same environment.
A control sample or control group is used to compare with the experimental group or sample. The control sample ideally, should be exactly the same as the experimental sample except that you don't give your experimental treatment to the control sample. Afterwards you compare the 2 samples to see if your experimental treatment had any kind of effect. The control is like a reference point.
control groups are those which you keep constant you don't do anything to them and experimental groups are the ones which you are adding something to it to see what happens
control group
The control is a group that is held constant and is not experimented with, The experimental group is the group that is experimented with
The Experimental Control.
