INTRODUCTION
When we talk about the structure of the material we need to know that there are different types of materials, for which there are various properties, which is the base of a text. To know the different properties that materials in general have, for example the mechanical, physical and chemical properties in their respective branches and subdivisions; including the various bonds that perform the atoms that make up the material, classifying them in it.

SUMMARY
Material Structure
(The real text contain 130 lines divided in 2 columns, so the summary contain 17 lines)

All the things considered being composed of the many substances known as chemical elements; these are composed of atoms which have distinct structure characteristics of each element. Exist 2 types of atomic bonds, the first are the strongest bonds: metallic, covalent and ionic bonds. The second are much weak than the others for the deformation or fracture: hydrogen bonds and van der Waals bonds. Exist 3 types of the properties of materials: Mechanical properties: this property refers to toughness, flexibility, hardness, fragility and plasticity. The above mechanical properties are measured accurately by mechanical tests: Test drive, hardness testing, testing shock, testing technology. Physical properties: rely on the structure and material processing; maybe describe the qualities by the material. This subdivided in 2 types: intensive and extensive. o Intensive refers to: color, odor, luster, malleability, ductility, conductivity, hardness, melting, boiling point and density. o Extensive refers to: mass, weight, volume and length. Chemical properties: these describe the substances and reactions (): for example flammability, reactivity.

CONCLUSION
The different structures of the materials determined many of its characteristics and properties, even many times in the case of the same element. The structure of the materials not only refers to the shape of the material but many times exist the possibility of reacting with another. Materials not only have a shape and a structure, but they also possess unique or different qualities depending on the element containing as well as their behavior with her around.
