These are notes that could be used by an instructor who is covering intermolecular attractive forces. These notes include animations, simulations, and video of; dispersion forces (video by John Gelder), dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen-bonding forces (simulations by Concord.org). There is also boiling point data that can be used to develop London Dispersion forces, hydrogen-bonding forces and dipole-dipole forces.

Solutions and Solution Process

Link to notes on solutions.

These notes include videos of macroscopic experiments (from JCE Software) and particulate simulations of homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures of molecular substances from concord.org as well as a video of a particulate animation of a homogeneous mixtures of ionic compound and water.

Hybridized Orbitals

Link to notes on hybrid orbitals.

Link to movies depicting hybrid orbitals.

These notes include videos of energy level diagrams depicting 2s and 2p atomic orbitals hybridizing to form sp, sp2, and sp3 hybrid orbitals.
The movies link just shows a collection of the movies that are in the notes.
