2. Pre-Requisites
Not established
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The main goal of this subject is the students to learn the concepts and basic principles that determine the atomic properties and the bonding models that justify the structure of the matter. Everything learned in this subject will be applied later throughout the curriculum, mainly in those subjects that require a proper management of bonding and structural properties of chemical compounds, such as "Organic Chemistry", "Bioinorganic Chemistry" ," Structure and function of macromolecules "," Structural determination "," Biomaterials ", etc.
