Is BeH2 and HCl ionic or covalent?

BeH2 is a covalent compound because beryllium typically forms covalent bonds with hydrogen. HCl is considered an ionic compound because hydrogen chloride typically forms an ionic bond between the hydrogen and chlorine ions.


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.

Two ways hydrogen combines with other elements?

Hydrogen combines with other elements primarily through covalent bonding and ionic bonding. In covalent bonding, hydrogen shares its single electron with another element, forming molecules such as water (H₂O) and methane (CH₄). In ionic bonding, hydrogen can donate its electron to form a cation (H⁺), which can then bond with anions, as seen in compounds like hydrochloric acid (HCl). These bonding methods allow hydrogen to form a wide variety of chemical compounds.
