What can you find in HCl?
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) contain, of course, hydrogen and chlorine in the molecule.
What is the elements of HCl?
The formula for hydrochloric acid is HCl. Each molecule of hydrochloric acid is composed of one atom of hydrogen and one molecule of chlorine.
What happens to the hydrogen atom of the HCl molecule when placed in water?
The hydrogen will dissolve
What is the charge associated with each side of the HCl molecule?
HCl has a single bond in between hydrogen and chlorine. Hydrogen's one and only electron is tied up in that bond. Chlorine's other 6 valence electrons are on that side due to chlorine's high electronegativity. So, the chlorine side will be negative and the hydrogen side will be positive. This makes HCl a highly polar molecule.
Is HCl a diatomic molecule?
Correct, HBr is diatomic, it has two atoms, one of hydrogen and one of bromine.
Is hydrogen chloride a nonpolar molecule?
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.

What is the elements of HCl?
The formula for hydrochloric acid is HCl. Each molecule of hydrochloric acid is composed of one atom of hydrogen and one molecule of chlorine.
How many molecules does HCl contain?
HCl is a molecule which is made of two atoms - hydrogen and chlorine.
What happens to the hydrogen atom of the HCl molecule when placed in water?
The hydrogen will dissolve

HCl has a single bond in between hydrogen and chlorine. Hydrogen's one and only electron is tied up in that bond.

Is HCl a diatomic molecule?
Correct, HBr is diatomic, it has two atoms, one of hydrogen and one of bromine.
How many atoms of HCl are in one molecule of HCl?
There are no atoms of HCl in one molecule of HCl, because HCl is not an atom. It is a molecule. HCl is made of two parts: hydrogen atoms, and chlorine atoms. Each molecule of HCl contains one hydrogen atom and one chlorine atom. H stands for hydrogen, and Cl stands for chlorine. Compare this to H2O, which is the chemical formula for water. Water has 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
What is the difference between HCI and HCL?
HCl (with a lowercase L) is the correct formula for hydrogen chloride. HCI is a common way of misspelling that formula.
What is the total number present in hydrogen chloride?
Hydrogen chloride molecule (HCl) has two atoms.
Why Cl2 has a nonpolar covalent bond while HCl has a polar covalent bond?
Their is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of chlorine, but there is a big enough difference between chlorine and hydrogen to have the electron of hydrogen spend more time in the orbital of chlorine than in the hydrogen orbital, thus this molecule is slightly charged on either end (+/-) and therefore polar covalent.
Why concentrated Hcl is 12N?
For solutions where there is only one hydrogen atom per molecule (HCl) N is the same as molarity (M). It differs only when there is more than one hydrogen atom per molecule.
