I think you mean HCl and Cl (with an L).
HCl is polar because there is a difference in electronegativity between hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl).
Cl on its own is a single atom and is not bonded to anything for there to be a difference in electronegativity.
Cl2 is nonpolar because there is no difference in electronegativity between atoms of the same element.

The chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do The hydrogen chloride molecule is therefore a nonpolar covalent molecule?
True. A measure of the ability of an atom to "attract" electrons is electronegativity. Cl is more electronegative than H.
How many chlorine atoms are present for every atom in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
There is 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom in Hydrogen Chloride.
Is Dihydrogen monoxide an example of a nonpolar molecule?
Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or Water) is not an example of a nonpolar molecule. It is a polar molecule.
In the hydrogen chloride molecule the atoms are held together by a what type of bond?
polar covalent bonds
Why is hydrogen chloride polar?
Hydrogen chloride is non polar because in molecules such as (hcl) the electron pair of bond is pulled closer to more electroneative chlorine atom.As a result of this the chlorine atom develops a tiny negative charge,where as the hydrogen atom develops a tiny positive charge.The hydrogen chloride molecule has a slight separation of charge within it and describe as a polar molecule

Why is bromobenzene non polar?
Beryllium chloride is a nonpolar molecule.
Is a hydrogen chloride a molecule?
Yes.
Does hydrogen experience a hydrogen bonding?
The hydrogen molecule, H2, consists of two hydrogen atoms joined by a covalent bond in which one pair of electrons is shared. The hydrogen molecule does not experience hydrogen bonding, as it is a nonpolar molecule.
What is the total number present in hydrogen chloride?
Hydrogen chloride molecule (HCl) has two atoms.
Is hydrogen chloride HCI polar?
Hydrogen chloride is a polar molecule. Its dipole moment is 1.05 D.
How many hydrogen are there in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
one. The formula for hydrogen chloride is HCl; meaning one Hydrogen atom and one chlorine atom.
What do nonpolar molecule have?
Nonpolar molecules have no net dipoles. The most common nonpolar molecules are hydrocarbons. These are molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Because the electrons in a molecule of hydrogen fluoride are more strongly pulled toward the fluorine atom is the molecule nonpolar?
yes
How many chlorine atoms are present for every atom in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
There is 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom in Hydrogen Chloride.
What can you find in HCl?
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) contain, of course, hydrogen and chlorine in the molecule.
What is the formula for the chlorine sulfur hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulfide?
Chlorine atom - Cl Chlorine molecule - Cl2 since chlorine is a diatomic gas Sulfur atom - S Sulfur molecule - S8 Hydrogen chloride - HCl Hydrogen sulfide - H2S
