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.

Does hcl contain a triple bond?

No, hydrochloric acid (HCl) does not contain a triple bond. HCl is a diatomic molecule made up of one hydrogen atom and one chlorine atom, connected by a single covalent bond.


Which of the following molecules contains a covalent bond mgO hf hici cn-?

The molecule that contains a covalent bond is CN- (cyanide). MgO is an ionic compound, HF is a polar covalent molecule, and HCl is also a polar covalent molecule.


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.


What kind of bond makes up hydrochloric acid?

HCl is made up of two non-metals and is thus a covalent bond.


Do covalent bond break into ions?

Sometimes, but not usually. The covalent bond in HCl, for example, breaks when the gas is dissolved in water, but the bonds in methanol, acetone, and most other organic compounds do not.


What is an example of a molecule with a covalent bond?
