Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which two substances are covalent compounds?
A
C6H12O6 (s) and KI (s)
B
KI (s) and NaCl (s)
C
C6H12O6 (s) and HCl (g)
D
NaCl (s) and HCl (g)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, we can conclude that and HCl are the two substances which are covalent compounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -chemical compound classification together by sharing electrons (covalent bonding). Examples are water, which contains H2O molecules; methane, which contains CH4 molecules; and hydrogen fluoride, which contains HF molecules. …of chemical compounds: molecular (covalent) and ionic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like all sugars, C6H12O6 is polar covalent (dissolves in water but doesn’t break up into ions).

Detailed explanation-4: -HCl gas is covalent and NaCl is an ionic compound.

Detailed explanation-5: -Assertion :HCl is considered a polar covalent compound. Reason: The chloride ion is less electronegative than hydrogen ion. So chloride ion carries partial negative character while hydrogen carries partial positive character.
