LC Chemistry – Section 1 – Definition cloze tests

NOTES FOR TEACHERS

 To view this document clearly, click somewhere on the table below. Go to the “Table Tabs” tab highlighted
on the toolbar, click on “Layout” ,then select “View Gridlines”
 Listed in the table below are the relevant definitions for Section 1
 The following pages contain the cloze tests for each of the definitions
 Cloze tests are considered to be a form of Directed Activities Related to Texts (DARTS) known as completion
DARTS. This can be a useful way to revise and consolidate learning.
 Cloze tests can be easily differentiated by the number of deletions in a definition or by providing a word
bank to select from, or inserting “red herrings” into a word bank.
 Each definition cloze test can be copied to insert into your own test
 Please note that each definition is contained in its own mini-table in order to maintain formatting. Calibri
(14dpi) is used. Switching fonts when inserted into your own document, will mean that you will need to
adjust the table formatting accordingly (cell height and width).
 Alternatively all the definition cloze tests can be printed as one document (pages 2 & 3)

Atomic Number The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. 1

Diffusion Spontaneous spreading out of a substance due to the natural movemen 1

t of its particles.

Element A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ch 1

emical means.

Mass Number The number of protons and neutrons in an atom of the element. 1

Pauli Exclusion Principle No more than two electrons can occupy an orbital, and this they can 1
only do if they have opposite spin.

Relative Atomic Mass (Ar) The mass of an atom of an element compared with one twelfth of the 1
mass of the carbon-12 isotope.

Relative Molecular Mass The mass of a molecule of that substance compared with one twelfth of 1
(Mr) the mass of the carbon-12 isotope.

Sublevel Part of a main energy level consisting of one or more orbitals of the 1
same energy.

Cathode Rays Streams of negatively charged particles (electrons) that travel from the 1
cathode to the anode a vacuum tube.

Emission Spectrum Pattern of bright lines or bands seen when the electromagnetic radiatio 1
n emitted by a substance is passed through a spectrometer.

Mass Spectrometry Technique to determine the masses of particles and structures of molec 1
ules.

Molecule The smallest particle of a substance that still retains the physical and ch 1
emical properties of that substance.
