Structural chemistry is a main basic course for undergraduates in College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering. With electronic configuration and geometry as the two main lines, structual chemistry systematically teaches three types of theory and structure: the theory of quantum mechanics and atomic structure, chemical bond theory and molecular structure, lattice theory and crystal structure. And give students the basic knowledge in three aspects: quantum chemistry, symmetry and crystal chemistry. These are of great help for the students to build up microstructure concepts and master modern characterization methods.

“化学”一词,若单从字面解释就是“变化的学问”之意。化学是一门研究物质的性质、组成、结构、以及变化规律的基础自然科学。化学研究的对象涉及物质之间的相互关系,或物质和能量之间的关联。传统的化学常常都是关于两种物质接触、变化,即化学反应,又或者是一种物质变成另一种物质的过程。
