For electricity to be conducted charge transfer should take place between two oppositely charged ends and charge transfer can take place only through movement of charged particles( free electrons or ions). In case of Hydrogen chloride gas hydrogen and chlorine atom have strong covalent bond between themselves so they don't separate to form ions.
Hydrogen chloride gas molecules don't have free electrons either. So it is obvious that hydrogen chloride gas is not a good conductor of electricity.
Note: aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride in water is a good conductor as hydrogen chloride separates into hydrogen cation(H+ ) and chloride anion(Cl- ).

Why is hydrogen chloride good conductor of electricity?
What you need to remember that Hydrogen is H+ plus an electron e- Therefore it conducts electricity and a good heat conductor. Also creates water when bonded with Oxygen, very important in photosynthesis, cellular respiration and our everyday life ;)
Is Magnesium Chloride a good conductor?
Magnesium chloride is a good conductor if melted or dissolved in an ionization promoting solvent; as a solid it is not a good conductor.
Is boron a good conductor of electricity?
Boron is not a good conductor of electricity at room temperature, but is a good conductor at a high temperature.
Which substance meets the requirements cubic solid poor electrical conductor in the solid state good conductor when fused a sodium chloride b diamond c sulfur d chromium?
A, sodium chloride, because it is a crystalline solid. It has an ionic bond when in it's solid form and is a poor conductor. It is a good conductor of electricity in an aqueous state or when fused.
Is nylon a good conductor of electricity?
No, nylon is not a good conductor of electricity, it is an insulator.

Is NaCl a good conductor?
Sodium chloride is an electrolyte only in water solutions or when is melted. Solid sodium chloride is not a conductor of electricity.
Does sodium chloride produce an electrical current?
Sodium chloride in solution or melted is a good conductor of electricity; but sodium chloride doesn't produce electricity.
Is calcium chloride a good conductor of electricity?
It is a good conductor when melted or dissolved in water, but not when solid. This is because it is an electrolytic conductor, and can only carry electricity when its ions are free to move.
Is dry solid sodium chloride a conductivity of electricity?
Not positive, but fairly sure that solid sodium chloride is not a conductor. Molten sodium chloride is a good conductor.
Is potasium chloride a good conductor of electricity?
When dissolved in water it is an excellent conductor. In solid form it isn't.
Is aqueous sodium chloride is a good conductor of electric current?
Yes, aqueous sodium chloride solution is a good conductor of electricity. Since, it is an ionic salt, when dissolved in water it dissociates into ions and thus the free ions conduct electricity.
Is salt a conductor or an insulator?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Is Salt Water an insulator or a conductor?
salt water is a good conductor of electricity as it contains sodium and chloride ions to carry out current
Why pure sodium chloride a non-conductor but when dissolved in water it is a good conductor of electricity?
They conduct better because then they break up into ions
Is sodium chloride a good conductor of electricity when melted?
Yes. It forms sodium positive ions (cations) and negative chloride ions (anions).
