Floating Squares Graphite (from a pencil lead) is applied to one side of an index card and a piece of the card is immersed in a beaker containing hexane and water (two layers). The graphite-coated side always faces the hexane layer. When the two liquids are carbon tetrachloride and water the graphite-coated side always faces the carbon tetrachloride.
Stilling Waves with Ordered Molecular MonolayersEd Vitz The amazing ability of a film of oil one molecule thick to dissipate the relatively large energy of water waves can be readily demonstrated, but an explanation of the effect has been elusive until recently. Vitz, Ed. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1064.

Paper Cover Up In this activity, students cover some parts of white paper with wax. When painted with dark paint, the color does not stick to the waxed parts. This is like coatings used to protect teeth.
London ForcesEd Vitz, John W. Moore A section of ChemPrime, the Chemical Educations Digital Library's free General Chemistry textbook.

Intermolecular Forces (Netorials)Rachel Bain, Mithra Biekmohamadi, Liana Lamont, Mike Miller, Rebecca Ottosen, John Todd, and David Shaw Intermolecular Forces: this is a resource in the collection "Netorials". In this resource there is a review of Lewis structures, molecular geometry, electronegativity, or molecular polarity. After that, you can learn about the forces of attraction that exist between molecules. This module explores London forces and dipole-dipole forces (including hydrogen bonds). The Netorials cover selected topics in first-year chemistry including: Chemical Reactions, Stoichiometry, Thermodynamics, Intermolecular Forces, Acids & Bases, Biomolecules, and Electrochemistry.

Electrostatics Attraction (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Electrostatics Attraction: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will correlate molecular polarity with the attraction of liquids to a charged rod. General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.
