Why hydrogen chloride is a gas but hydrogen flouride is a liquid?

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is a gas at room temperature, but does have a higher boiling point than hydrogen chloride (HCl).
Flourine is more electronegative than chlorine, so the HF molecule is more polar than the HCl molecule. This makes them more strongly attracted to one another (somewhat in the manner of magnets) and boiling a substance involves overcoming that intermolecular attraction.

Why hydrogen chloride is a liquid while hydrogen chloride is a gas?
At the standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen chloride exists as a gas. It does not exist in liquid state, but in aqueous medium along with water as a solvent.
What do you mean by liquid hydrogen chloride gas?
It means the compound hydrogen chloride in the liquid state - either very cold and/or very highly compressed as at room temperature and pressure it is a gas.
What is the boiling point of liquid Hydrogen Chloride gas?
Only a liquid can boil. HCl boils at -84.9C
Is hydrochloric acid a solid liquid or gas?
Under normal conditions it is liquidAdded:Hydrochloric acid is the (liquid) solution of the gas Hydrogen chloride (HCl).Max. solubility in water is about 35-37%, (12 M HCl), it is dangerously fuming and toxic.
Difference between hydrochloric acid and hydrogen chloride?
Hydrogen chloride is a gas at room temperature, hydrochloric acid is hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water.

What is the state of matter of hydrogen chloride at room temperature?
Hydrogen chloride is a GAS at RTP. However it readily dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid at RTP. Hence it can be mistakenly thought of as a liquid.
Is hydrochloric acid a solid liquid or gas?
Under normal conditions it is liquidAdded:Hydrochloric acid is the (liquid) solution of the gas Hydrogen chloride (HCl).Max. solubility in water is about 35-37%, (12 M HCl), it is dangerously fuming and toxic.
What is the chemical formula for hyrogen chloride gas?
Hydrogen Chloride = HCl(g) Hydrogen Chloride is a gas at room temperature, it has the same chemical formula regardless of state. The subscript (g) can be used to indicate any molecule/compound is a gas (or change it to s for solid, aq or lfor liquid).
Difference between hydrochloric acid and hydrogen chloride?
Hydrogen chloride is a gas at room temperature, hydrochloric acid is hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water.
what is the chemical formula for zinc chloride and hydrogen gas?
Zinc chloride is ZnCl2 Hydrogen gas is H2
What substances form from the reaction of hydrogen and chlorine gas?
The compound hydrogen chloride, with formula HCl.
Is dry hydrogen chloride a gas or acid?
Hydrogen chloride is a gas, Hydrochloric acid is the acid. ( difference is in solution )
Why ethyl alcohol is a liquid while ethyl chloride is a gas?
Ethyl alcohol is a liquid because strong hydrogen bonding in it brings the molecules closer together while methyl chloride does not form hydrogen bonding,weaker forces exist between molecules of methyl and chloride due to which they lie at distance from each other till gas form.
Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
