In this research, a model for educational planning of teaching is presented; the design is based on Didactic Units and the perspectives to higher level education. This is intended to enhance understanding of Chemical Bonding Concept, identifying some of the difficulties students have to understand the interaction between atoms from the macroscopic properties of substances, with the complexity this demands. The research is empirical with the constructivist point or view. The test Covalent Bond and its structure was applied as a diagnostic tool to 42 students of Chemistry and Bachelor of Natural Science and Environmental Education of the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, (UPTC) the perception of this topic becomes a field that allows to explain the natural phenomena and its accurate explanation allows, on one hand, to avoid the students adapt conceptual mistakes, and on the other, foster meaningful learning in them.
