Isotopes: Heavy Water Ice Cubes An H2O ice cube is shown to float in a beaker of liquid water, while an ice cube of D2O (heavy water) is shown to sink in liquid water.
Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation To Reinforce Student Understanding of Intermolecular ForcesPhillip R. Burkholder, Gordon H. Purser, and Renee S. Cole This article presents a series of experiments incorporating molecular dynamics simulations which predict the motion of chemical species based on the application of empirical rules and a physical analysis of the forces that act between the species. These motions can then be shown in vivid graphical form. Burkholder, Phillip R.; Purser, Gordon H.; Cole, Renee S. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1071.

Simple Dynamic Models for Hydrogen Bonding Using Velcro-Polarized Molecular ModelsEmeric Schultz This article describes the use of models that dynamically illustrate the unique characteristics of weak intermolecular interactions, specifically hydrogen bonds. The models clearly demonstrate that H-bonds can break and reform while covalent bonds stay intact. The manner in which the models form and break H-bonds reflects the geometric and statistical manner in which H-bonding actually occurs and is not contrived. The use of these models addresses a significant area of student misconceptions. The construction of these molecular models is described. Schultz, Emeric. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 401.
