Hydrogen chloride (sometimes mistakenly called hydrochloric acid, although that requires it to be dissolved so that the hydrogen dissociates) is a highly polar compound of hydrogen and chlorine atoms; each molecule of HCl has one hydrogen atom and one chlorine atom, connected by a single covalent bond.duhh who dont noe that stupid

H2Cl is a hydrogen bond formed between a million hydrogens and electrons from the outermost shell of a cl molecule. Dipole dipole attraction is not involved because of the strong electronegative forces.

A compound as such does not exists because Hydrogen can only have a +1 charge. Having to Chlorides attached at the end would make the Hydrogen have a 2+ charge; (Chlorine has 1-) this is impossible.
