Hydrogen chloride (diatomic molecule) has a polar covalent bond.
Methane is non polar.So dispersion forces are formed.
An HCl molecule contains 3 nonbonding pairs..
Almost all of the compounds of carbon are formed by covalent bonding. Compounds such as diamond and graphite show strict covalent character in bonding.
Ionic bonds are formed in the process of ionic bonding. The method of bond formation is simply known as ionic bonding. For example, when H+ and Cl- atoms meet, they form bonds with each by going through ionic bonding to form HCl.
No, salts, including table salt, are formed by ionic bonding.
HCl is a covalent compound.

Covalent bonds are bonds formed by the sharing of electrons.
Ionic bonds are formed in the process of ionic bonding. The method of bond formation is simply known as ionic bonding. For example, when H+ and Cl- atoms meet, they form bonds with each by going through ionic bonding to form HCl.
celefidual bonds
No, salts, including table salt, are formed by ionic bonding.
The text book answer is that Cl is not electronegative enough (compared to HF where there is obvious H bonding present)
