The Structure of Matter module provides a foundational understanding of how matter is organized at the microscopic and atomic levels. It introduces students to the fundamental concepts of atoms, molecules, and the interactions that govern the physical and chemical behavior of substances. The module explores atomic theory, electron configuration, periodic trends, chemical bonding, and the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Through theoretical explanations and practical examples, students learn how the internal structure of matter determines observable macroscopic properties. Emphasis is placed on developing scientific reasoning, problem-solving skills, and the ability to explain material behavior using atomic-scale principles. This module serves as an essential basis for advanced studies in chemistry, physics, and materials science.
