There is no such thing as a molecular compound. Hydrogen chloride, is a COVALENT compound, since it is a molecule made of 2 non-metals: Hydrogen and Chlorine. When Hydrogen chloride is in solution, it is called Hydrochloric acid. This time, there are separate ions of H+ and Cl- , but there are no real bonds between these two ions.
