V. Learning objectives.

This module is the fundamental basis for learning chemistry in the various modules.
that follow it in the first-year program. 

The skills targeted through this module are:

1) The ability to define and understand Matter.
Learners should be able to define and understand matter with its basic components, the most important of which is the atom, and to relate the physical and chemical properties of different atoms and chemical elements to their electronic structure.
They are able to relate the physical and chemical properties of different atoms and chemical elements to their electronic structure.
On completion of this module, the learner will be able to:
2) Distinguish between matter, its physical states and its basic components, and recognize the relationship between them (molecule-atom).
3) Understand the various physical and chemical theories and experiments that led to the discovery of the various components of the atom, from the nucleus to the electron.
4) Apply the various theories to radioactive nuclei and study their effectiveness.
5) Analyze the most important theories relating to the movement and trajectory of the electron in the atom and Bohr's atomic model.
6) Compare the different chemical elements of the periodic table and deduce their physical and chemical properties.
7) Know how to designate chemical bonds according to Lewis’s theory and know the geometries of molecules in space.
  These learning objectives for the structure of matter module can be summarized as follows:
