The study of minerals, as natural inorganic chemical compounds, and mineral formation processes, provides knowledge on the reactivity of chemical elements that result in natural compounds | A1 A3 A6 A12 |
B1 B3 |
C1 C2 |
Laboratory work includes the analysis of crystal forms and the identification of common minerals through a critical analysis of its symmetry, the development and training of spatial perception and the students’ abstraction capabilities. | A1 A12 A15 A16 A23 A25 A27 |
B1 B4 B5 B7 |
C6 |
The student will face practical and theoretical aspects of minerals and crystalline matter, and the relationship between atomic arrangement and macroscopic properties | A9 A12 A16 A20 A25 |
C1 C2 |
|
The internal structure of each mineral class, crystal system and the most representative unit cells are analyzed | A1 A3 A6 A16 |
B3 B7 |
C1 C2 C3 |
The student will be able to relate mineral properties (density, cleavage, hardness, piezoelectricity) and mineral chemical composition, bonds and internal structure | A6 A12 |
