Structure-Oriented Approach in Chemical Education

Essentials of Chemical Education

Abstract

Chemists consider the chemical structure to be very important and essential for the understanding of substances and their properties; for them, the structure of matter is of highest significance. Modern chemistry lessons should therefore integrate exemplary chemical structures and the use of corresponding structural models. Following these preliminary considerations we will develop and describe a conception, which is called “structure-oriented chemistry.”
