Because an HCl molecule is diatomic it is impossible for it to be anything other than linear.

Is HCl bent or linear?
It is a di atomic molecule. They are always linear
Is hclo linear?
HCLO isn't linear. This molecule is known as bent,polar. in order to be a linear molecule there must be two atoms.
What is the shape of the molecule HCN?
Hydrogen cyanide is a hydrogen bonded to a complex ion, cyanide (CN-). The hydrogen is single bonded to the cyanide ion, which is a carbon triple bonded to a nitrogen atom. See the link below for a good representation of this molecule.
Which is more polar CO2 andNO2?
NO2. The molecule is bent so the bond dipoles do not cancel, whereas in CO2 which is linear they do.
What is the shape of BH3 molecule?
BH3 has a trigonal planar shape with 120 angles.
Is HCl bent or linear?
It is a di atomic molecule. They are always linear
Is hclo linear?
HCLO isn't linear. This molecule is known as bent,polar. in order to be a linear molecule there must be two atoms.
Is the molecule SO2 linear?
No,it is not linear.It is bent in shape.
Is hydrogen chloride linear?
ITS BENT thats why you always see molecular pictures of the molecule like this O / \ H H and not like this H-O-H It has to do with the numbers of lone pairs bonded to the central atom (O)
Why is SeH2 linear and not bent?
The molecule should have 2 atoms with 2 lone electron pairs and be in bent configuration.
What is the shape of h2s molecule?
The hydrogen sulfide (H2S) molecule has a bent shape.
Why is the VSEPR theory not needed to predict the shape of HCl?
Because two atomic centres can only create a linear molecule.
What is the shape of the molecule HCN?
Hydrogen cyanide is a hydrogen bonded to a complex ion, cyanide (CN-). The hydrogen is single bonded to the cyanide ion, which is a carbon triple bonded to a nitrogen atom. See the link below for a good representation of this molecule.
Which is more polar CO2 andNO2?
NO2. The molecule is bent so the bond dipoles do not cancel, whereas in CO2 which is linear they do.
Is cl2 linear or bent?
It is linear.
What is the shape of BH3 molecule?
BH3 has a trigonal planar shape with 120 angles.
How do you find if a molecule has a linear shape?
No, many linear molecules are nonpolar. A polar substance often has a bent or otherwise asymmetrical structure.
