[]
 * Formal Charges (tutorial)**

The names tetrahedron and octahedron derive from the names of the Platonic Solids formed if you enclose the faces formed by the vertices of the shape. []
 * Platonic Solids (graphic)**

Shows atomic orbitals combining to form molecular orbitals and helps you to visualize their relative energies. []
 * Hybridization (simulation)**

[]

Intermolecular Forces
This animation demonstrates the attraction between the dipole of one HCl molecule to the dipole of a neighboring HCl molecule. []
 * Dipole-Dipole Forces (animation)**

This simulation demonstrates the electrostatic phenomenon of induction and helps you to visualize how the distribution of charges gives this effect. Induction is the basis of the intermolecular force called "induced dipole" or "Van der Waals" forces. []
 * Static Electricity/Induction (simulation)**

This animation helps you to visualize how the movement of electrons can result in a skewed distribution, which will induce a tiny dipole on the neighboring molecule. A very difficult concept for students to visualize, this []
 * Van der Waals Forces (animation)**

Illustrates how dipoles on water molecule result in hydrogen bonding. []
 * Hydrogen Bonding (animation)**

Illustrates how hydrogen bonds are formed and broken []
