Strategies and useful tips
- It is recommended to spend not more than 15 minutes on this task.
- In that task knowing of the following aspects of the language is checked:
- phrasal verbs (to put up, to come across, to cut down with, etc.);
- difference in using of words similar in meaning and synonyms (to look, to watch, to glance, to see; a trip, travel, a voyage, a journey, etc.);
- difference in using of words very close in sounding and spelling but different in meaning (again/against, effect/affect, beside/besides, etc.);
- dependent prepositions and word patterns (to rely on smb, to fall in love with smb, to throw in/at, to take care of, etc.).
A Daring Discovery
One of the most important scientific discoveries is the periodic table of chemical elements created by the outstanding Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev. The table is a classification based on the Periodic Law discovered by Mendeleev in 1869 and can serve \({\boxed{32} \underline{ }}\) a key to the search for new elements. The Periodic Law states that the properties of the chemical elements depend on their atomic numbers.
Of course, even before Mendeleev's discovery, scientists tried to systematise and classify the elements. For example, one of the obvious and therefore widely used classifying principles was the division of the elements into metals and non-metals. \({\boxed{33} \underline{ }}\) , this basis turned out to be insufficient when the properties of elements such as zinc and aluminium had been studied, as these elements are characterised by the properties of \({\boxed{34} \underline{ }}\) metals and non-metals. Gradually, from the simple division of elements into groups with similar properties, scientists came to the assumption that the properties of chemical elements must recur in a systematic way. Yet, it was only in 1869 that Dmitri Mendeleev \({\boxed{35} \underline{ }}\) to confirm this assumption by compiling his clear table of elements.
Mendeleev would not have been able to create the periodic table if he had not shown the great daring of thought. By 1869, the atomic mass of some known elements had been determined inaccurately. \({\boxed{36} \underline{ }}\) , it was impossible to see the pattern judging by the order of the elements lined up according to the ascending order of their atomic mass. Mendeleev dared to correct the atomic masses of some known elements and leave empty spaces in the table for the elements that had not been discovered yet. His law had the power of scientific foresight. \({\boxed{37} \underline{ }}\) the periodic table, scientists can predict and discover new chemical elements. One of such elements, Mendelevium, was discovered in 1954 and named \({\boxed{38} \underline{ }}\) Dmitri Mendeleev. It is a synthetic element with the symbol Md and atomic number 101 in the table.
