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

∙ 16y agoPolar as the 'chloride' part (Cl) is far more electronegative than the hydrogen (H), creating a delta positive dipole on the hydrogen and a delta negative dipole on the chlorine.

Is hydrogen chloride a solvent?
Hydrogen chloride is a polar compound. Therefore it can act as a solvent to particular polar compounds.
In the hydrogen chloride molecule the atoms are held together by a what type of bond?
polar covalent bonds
Is beryllium chloride polar?
Beryllium chloride is ionic so it is polar in a sense.
Is ethyl chloride polar?
Non-Polar
Hexane and methylene chloride?
Hexane is very non-polar. methylene chloride is slightly polar
Is hydrogen chloride HCI polar?
Hydrogen chloride is a polar molecule. Its dipole moment is 1.05 D.
Is hydrogen chloride a solvent?
Hydrogen chloride is a polar compound. Therefore it can act as a solvent to particular polar compounds.
Why is hydrogen chloride (HCl) polar?
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is polar because Cl has more electronegativity they attract more ionic bond.So,due to the electronegativity difference it is polar.
Why hydrogen has different boiling point than hydrogen chloride?
Because hydrogen is an element but hydrogen chloride is a polar compound so needs more energy to overcome the permanent dipole bonds. :)
Does hydrogen chloride have polar or nonpolar bonds?
HCl , hydrogen chloride is a diatomic molecular compound with a polar covalent bond. ( When dissolved in water it iis a very strong acid (it dissociates completely) forming H+ (aq) and Cl-
What kind of bonding does hydrogen and chloride form?
If Hydrogen gas is chemically combined with Chlorine gas, Hydrogen chloride is formed: H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) ---> 2 HCl (g) The bond is covalent (the atoms share electrons) and polar (Chlorine is more electronegative). Hydrogen chloride gas will dissolve in water and disassociate into ions: HCl ---> H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Does hydrochloric acid contain a non-polar covalent bond?
HCl (hydrogen chloride) has a covalent bond, polar.
In the hydrogen chloride molecule the atoms are held together by a what type of bond?
polar covalent bonds
Which type of bonding is formed by HCl?
Hydrogen chloride (diatomic molecule) has a polar covalent bond.
Will hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) dissolve in water Explain why.?
Hydrogen chloride, or hydrochloric acid (HCl), has two atoms, hydrogen and chlorine. The strengths these atoms have on the nearby electrons are quite different, ie they have different electronegativities. This therefore means that one atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the other. This is known as a polar molecule. Water (H2O) is also a polar molecule, and when two polar chemicals are mixed, they will dissolve, so the HCl will full delocalise, and become two separate H+ and Cl- ions.
Is sodium chloride crystals polar or non polar?
Sodium chloride is a polar compound.
Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
