None of them. Cl is the symbol for an atom of chlorine. If it were a compound there would be at least one other symbol, and the same applies to a polar molecule. If it were a negative ion it would be Cl- with the negative sign as a superscript. Chlorine doesn't form positive ions in normal circumstances, but it would be Cl+ , again with the charge as a superscript.

Molecule that has slightly different charges in slightly different places?
a molecule with a difference in charge. i.e. if it is slightly more negative in one place than another you say it has a dipole. you label it with the greek symbol delta- delta+ the - at the more negative part of the molecule. i am looking at this from a chemistry angle.

Explain what a tension force is?
Water is made up of 2 hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. It's chemical name is dihyrogen monoxide. The overall compound has no charge, positive or negative, but at an atomic level the parts of the molecule have a slight charge. Hydrogen slightly positive, oxygen slightly negative. Think of it as the Disney Mickey Mouse symbol! Uniquely in water, these slight changes attract the opposing charged molecule in another compound. So the negative oxygen atom of one water molecule attract a positive hydrogen atom of another molecule. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/3D_model_hydrogen_bonds_in_water.jpg These bonds give water molecules a bond with each other. It's why water beads together on glass. This bond can be broker very easily, eg by putting your hand in water. But if you are a very small insect, there will be enough of this "Surface Tension" force to support your weight.

What does the negative sign do in excel?
The same as in many programming languages and other places where formulae are used. The negative sign can basically do one of the following: As a unary symbol (i.e., before a number), convert a positive to a negative, or a negative to a positive. For example, if "x" is positive, "-x" is negative, and vice versa. As a binary symbol (i.e., between two numbers), it means subtraction.
