  • The conceptual map


  • The course presentation

    Chemistry is the branch of science that studies the composition, structure, properties and transformations of matter. It studies the interactions between different substances and the changes they undergo at the molecular and atomic level.

    Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, which includes almost everything we interact with on a daily basis; everything we can smell, touch, taste or feel is made of matter, so the study of chemistry touches on almost every aspect of our daily lives.

    The structure of matter refers to the way in which the elementary particles and basic building blocks of matter are organised. This organisation manifests itself at different scales, from subatomic particles to macroscopic objects.

    This (course, tutorials) is primarily aimed at first year undergraduate (L1) science students and is intended to be a first class teaching tool for the learning of general chemistry by students of science and technology or any other subject such as medical and biological sciences.

    This (course, tutorial) consists of a series of exercises that will enable students to apply all the knowledge and concepts acquired in the course.


  • Learning objectives

    This course is designed to provide a basic knowledge of the laws and concepts needed to understand the structure of matter.

    By the end of this course the student will be able to:

    • Describe the nature of matter by identifying its constituents and symbolising atoms using the elementary particles that make up matter and quantifying them.
    • Understand the historical development of chemistry and the discovery of the different.
    • Identify atoms and molecules and understand chemical bonds theories.



  • Prerequisites


    A good grasp of some mathematical concepts, in particular the rules concerning logarithms and exponentials. You are also expected to be familiar with units of volume, mass and energy, as well as conversions between different dimensions.

    To test these pre-requisites, a test is available from the first week on the distance learning platform. 


  • Content of the course

    This (course, tutorial) is divided into six chapters as defined by the official programme for science and technology students.

    Chapter I: Basic Concepts
    This chapter deals mainly with the macroscopic properties of states of matter, changes in states of matter and the concepts of atoms, molecules and Avogadro numbers.The third part of this chapter deals with the concepts of atomic mass unit, atomic and molecular molar mass.

    Chapter II: Main constituents of matter

    This second chapter is devoted to the study of the structure of the atom, highlighting the J.J. THOMSON experiment and the Rutherford experiment, as well as the Rutherford planetary model.
