Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is polar because Cl has more electronegativity they attract more ionic bond.So,due to the electronegativity difference it is polar.

Is hydrogen chloride HCI polar?

Yes, hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a polar molecule. This is because the chlorine atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atom, creating an uneven distribution of electrons and resulting in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the chlorine atom.


what is hydrogen chloride word equation?

The word equation for hydrogen chloride is: hydrogen + chlorine → hydrogen chloride.


Will hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) dissolve in water Explain why.?

Hydrogen chloride, or hydrochloric acid (HCl), has two atoms, hydrogen and chlorine. The strengths these atoms have on the nearby electrons are quite different, ie they have different electronegativities. This therefore means that one atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the other. This is known as a polar molecule. Water (H2O) is also a polar molecule, and when two polar chemicals are mixed, they will dissolve, so the HCl will full delocalise, and become two separate H+ and Cl- ions.


How many hydrogen are there in a hydrogen chloride molecule?

one. The formula for hydrogen chloride is HCl; meaning one Hydrogen atom and one chlorine atom.


Is HCl is the formula of hydrochloric acid?

Almost. HCl is hydrogen chloride. Hydrochloric acid is a solution of hydrogen chloride in water.


What kind of bonding does hydrogen and chloride form?

If Hydrogen gas is chemically combined with Chlorine gas, Hydrogen chloride is formed: H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) ---> 2 HCl (g) The bond is covalent (the atoms share electrons) and polar (Chlorine is more electronegative). Hydrogen chloride gas will dissolve in water and disassociate into ions: HCl ---> H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)


What is the chemical formula for hydrogen chlorine?

The chemical formula for hydrogen chloride is HCl.


What is the chemical equation for hydrogen chloride?

Hydrogen ion has the oxidation state of +1 and chloride ion has the oxidation state of -1. Thus the molecular formula of hydrogen chloride is HCl. Although it has the same molecular formula as hydrochloric acid, it is an acidic gas.


Does hydrogen chloride have polar or nonpolar bonds?

Hydrogen chloride has polar bonds. The difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and chlorine causes the chlorine end to be slightly negative and the hydrogen end to be slightly positive, resulting in a dipole moment.
