This question is quite simple if you have an electronegativity chart:
Florine's Electronegativity: 4.0
Chlorine's Electronegativity: 3.0
Hydrogen's Electronegativity: 2.1
HCl: 3.0-2.1= .9 (Slightly polar)
HF: 4.0-2.1= 1.9 (Much more polar)

∙ 14y agoBoth are halogen acids but HCl is a gas and HF is a liquid, HCl is strong acid while HF is weak. HCl is highly soluble in water while HF is less soluble. HCl may kept in glass bottle while HF does not.

∙ 13y agoHCl is hydrochloric acid, it is the binary compound of hydrogen and chlorine.
It is a strong acid meaning it completely dissociates in water. When neutralized by a base it leaves behind the chloride ion (Cl-), which is relatively nontoxic.
HF is hydrofluoric acid, the binary compound of hydrogen and fluorine. It is a weak acid meaning it only partially dissociates in water. Even though it is a weak acid it can still cause very serious chemical burns. In addition to being acidic, HF is also extremely toxic. When neutralized by a base it leaves behind the fluoride ion (F-)which is toxic.

∙ 13y agomost of time u ll get ans as H2O
this can b xpalned as in HCl there is only one Cl atom that is electronegative but in case of H2O there are two atoms of oxygen which will impart its electronegativity
even though Cl is more electronegative than oxygen
in case of HCl polarity ll b develope due to only one chlorine atom
while in water molecule it will b due to two oxygen atoms that summate
BUT REALLITY IS DIFFERENT FOR THIS U HAVE TO GO IN STEREOCHEMISTRY ALSO . HCl MOLECULE WHICH IS PRETTY IONIC BUT IN CASE OF H2O TWO OXYGEN ATOMS ARE AT OPPOSITE SIDES OF HYDROGEN THAT IS AGAIN WITH ANGLE. OHO ANGEL IS LES THAN 90 DEGREES . MEANS THE ELECTRONS SHARED BETWEEN H AND O SAY NO. 1 AND H AND O SAY NO. 2 CAN NOT REMAIN AT THE SIDE OF ANY OF OXYGEN ATOM INSTED IT REMAINS IN BETWEEN OF BOTH H AND OXYGEN THUS NOT LETTING HYDROGEN TO B ELECTROPOSITIVE AND OXYGEN ELECTRONEGATIVE BOTH OF THEM CAN ONLY DEVEOPE IS PARTIAL CHARGE OVER THEM

∙ 12y agoHF will be the most polar because it has highest electronegtavity difference than others. it has a difference of 1.9.

∙ 14y agoHF becomes ionized in water but water in HF does not so HF is stronger acid.

Which is more polar NH3 or H2O?
h2o
Which is more polar h2s or h2o?
H2O is more polar as oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur and will therefore attract the electrons more than sulfur
Why does h2o plus hcl equals h3o plus cl and not h2o and hcl?
both h2o and HCl are polar compounds they should react being polar compound's. in h20 hydrogen carries positive charge and oxygen consists of negative charge. similarly in hcl hydrogen carries positive charge and chlorine carries negative charge. both chlorine and oxygen are negative so they will repel each other the remaining hydrogen will be attracted towards the negatively charged oxygen and forms h30 and cl respectively.
KSCN plus H2O plus HCl?
k2co3 + 2hcl --> kcl +h2o +co2
H2O plus Cl2 equals?
Cl2 + H2O = HOCl + HCl
Which is more poler h2o or hcl?
HAx are in general more polar than OxAy So HCl
Why is HCl predominantly covalent in gaseous state but is ionic in aqueous solution?
HCl is a polar covalent compound. When it is dissolved in Polar solvent H2O, it is ionized into its constituent ions H+ & Cl-. But when it is present gaseous form then it remains as Covalent compound HCl.
Which is more polar NH3 or H2O?
h2o
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.
What is the product of hcl al H2O?
2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2 2Na + 2HCl = 2NaCl + H2 Na+H2O= NaOH2
What is the balance for HCl and H2O?
HCl + H2O -> H3O + Cl- This can also be written as HCl -> H+ + Cl-
Which is more polar h2s or h2o?
H2O is more polar as oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur and will therefore attract the electrons more than sulfur
HCl is a strong acid in aqueous medium but weak acid in ethanol why?
Ethanol is non-polar and there is no surrounding of the H(+) and Cl(-) ions with the polar H2O(water) molecules.
Why does h2o plus hcl equals h3o plus cl and not h2o and hcl?
both h2o and HCl are polar compounds they should react being polar compound's. in h20 hydrogen carries positive charge and oxygen consists of negative charge. similarly in hcl hydrogen carries positive charge and chlorine carries negative charge. both chlorine and oxygen are negative so they will repel each other the remaining hydrogen will be attracted towards the negatively charged oxygen and forms h30 and cl respectively.
What is an example of a polar bond?
HCl has the polar bond. Another polar bond is H2O, or water. And all those bonds are polar in which two atoms have a difference of electronegativities between 0.5 and 1.7 and their dipole moment is not zero.
Who has the most polar bond H2O H2S H2?
H2 molecule is the least polar. Between H2O and H2S, the most polar will be H2O as oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur.
Combination of HCl and NaOH?
The product is sodium chloride.The reaction is:NaOH + HCl - NaCl + H2O
