Intermolecular Attractive Force - Hydrogen-Bonding Forces

The simulation above was developed by the Concord.org. They have a collection of fantastic simulations, some of which are very useful when discussing intermolecular attractive forces. As the simulation plays try showing the partial charges, and clicking on the Slow Motion checkbox. Discuss what is happening with your students and be sure emphasize the intermolecular attractive force called hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between molecules of water, as depicted inthe static representation above the simulation.
