GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The bond between hydrogen and chlorine in HCl HCl is a polar covalent bond. It is formed by sharing of an electron pair between the two atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -HCl is polar covalent compound as the chloride ion is more electronegative than hydrogen ion. So chloride ion carries partial negative character while hydrogen carries partial positive character. Covalent character is shown by HCl as the atoms of hydrogen and chlorine share their electrons with each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nature of the bond in HCl is polar covalent.

Detailed explanation-4: -HCl is a covalent compound but in water it forms HCl acid consisting of H+ and Cl-ions.
