•	Utilize models of the atom to predict bonding and behavior of atoms.
•	Apply trends in the periodic table to predict behavior and properties of the elements.
•	Predict the behavior of specific elements in chemical reactions.
•	Understand how the primary and secondary bonding of atoms influences materials properties and behavior.
•	Apply basic rules of electron orbitals to predict molecular structure and properties.
•	Sketch the seven crystal systems and fourteen Bravais lattices.
•	Specify atomic planes, directions, and families of planes and directions within a given crystal structure using Miller indices.
•	Correlate X-ray diffraction information with crystal structure.
•	Compare and contrast the scattering of X-rays, neutrons and electrons within a crystal, and understand when one should use each of these to obtain structural information about a material.
•	Utilize band theory to describe the operation of modern semiconductor devices.
•	Use thermodynamics to explain the presence of point defects in crystalline solids.
•	Describe point, line, planar, and bulk imperfections in crystalline solids, and explain how these imperfections interact.
•	Identify the atomic-scale similarities and differences between amorphous and crystalline solids.
•	Discuss the structural and physical property differences between inorganic glasses (oxides, metallic) and organic glasses (polymers).
•	Apply reaction kinetics to determine the rate of chemical reactions; understand the factors that influence rates of reaction.
•	Utilize basic biochemistry to understand the formation of amino acids, peptides and proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
•	Apply Fick’s laws to predict the diffusion time and depth for systems with various initial and boundary conditions.
•	Utilize binary phase diagrams to identify weight and/or atomic percentages of components, and relative amounts of stable phases in binary and unary solutions.
