Why is HCl a covalent bond?

In hydrogen chloride gas, the electronegativity of chlorine is not enough to completely steal the electron from hydrogen. This highly polar molecule disassociates in water, however, and they are no longer bonded.

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.


HCL is a covalent or ionic bond?

What type of bonding is Hydrochloric acid has?

HCl is a covalent compound.


What kind of bond is present in HCl (Use the electronegativity values from the periodic table link to help you answer this question.)?

HCl is formed by a polar covalent bond. This is because chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing an uneven distribution of electron density in the bond, with chlorine attracting the shared electrons more.
