Can you give the name for HCl as a hydrogen mono-chloride instead of hydrogen chloride for binary molecule?

Only if you want people to laugh at you.

Hydrogen chloride is the name recommended by IUPAC in the book for inorganic chemistry nomenclature (English language).

Why hydrochloric acid and hydrogen chloride gas have different names?
Because they are two physically different, albeit closely-related chemical compositions:Hydrochloric acid is what is generally used as a strong acid in industry and retail for use in swimming pools. It is an aqueous solution of HCl, which is a strong acid and therefore dissolves fully in the solvent (water) existing as it's constituent ions H+ and Cl-, separated and interacting with the very polar water molecules. Hydrochloric acid cannot be simply dried/evaporated to create Hydrogen Chloride.Hydrogen Chloride is the anhydrous form of the molecule HCl as a ionic molecule. It is sometimes referred to as dry HCl or HCl(g), since there is no solvent present and at STP it exists as a gas. This Hydrogen Chloride can be simply bubbled through water to produce Hydrochloric acid. The reverse transformation is not possible, instead a chemical reaction must be used to create Hydrogen Chloride from various reagents (such as Sulfuric acid and Sodium Chloride)
Why sodium chloride is a compound not a molecule?
Sodium chloride is a compound because it consists of two elements chemically bonded together. It is no a molecule because instead of forming particles consisting of atoms bound by covalent bonds, it forms a crystal structure of ions attracted by their opposite charges.
A water molecule contains two hydrogen elements and one oxygen atom what is wrong with this question?
The word 'elements' should read , atoms'. The water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms. The water molecule contains two elements, viz. hydrogen and oxygen.
Why is hydrogen collected at cathode instead of sodium during the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
When an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is electrolyzed, hydrogen is produced at the cathode because hydrogen can be produced at a lower voltage than can sodium, and the supply of hydrogen from the water of the solution is sufficient to consume all the current supplied. When molten sodium chloride is electrolyzed, however, sodium is produced at the cathode.
What would happen if sodium chloride is taken instead of ammonium chloride during sublimation of ammonium chloride?
The experiment will not work because sodium chloride does not sublime. Ammonium chloride appears to sublime upon heating. However, this process is actually decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas. NH4Cl + heat → NH3 + HCl (Wikipedia)
What is the atomic number of hydrogen chloride?
Since hydrogen chloride is not an element but is, instead, formed by two elements, it does not have an atomic number. Only elements have atomic numbers.
What is 2 carbon plus 5 hydrogen?
A molecule of ethane with one hydrogen missing. If you can find a spare OH to stick on there instead of just a hydrogen, then you have a complete molecule of ethanol, which is much more interesting to have at the end of a hard day in the lab.

Lipid are classified into two main forms saturated and unsaturated what are they saturated with?
Lipids that are saturated do not have double bonded hydrogen atoms to the carbon skeleton of the molecule. Instead, the molecule has all of its available spaces filled with hydrogen atoms that are bonded to each open carbon atom of the molecule. To make it simple, saturated lipids are saturated with hydrogen.

What is electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride?
Sodium metal can be obtained by electrolysis from molten mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride in Down's cell. The metal can not be obtained by electrolysis from aqueous solution, because hydrogen will evolve instead.
Why hydrogen is not evolved when a metal react with nitric acid?
Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent and its molecule is unstable as compare to nitrogen oxides, on reacting with metals it gives hydrogen and oxygen both so water is produced instead of hydrogen.
What is water starch?
No, water does not contain starch. Instead, water contains two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. It is considered a fairly simple molecule.
Why electrolysis does not happen in solid sodium chloride?
when an aqueous solution is used, hydrogen gas is evolved at cathode, instead of depositing sodium metal.
