No, on the Arbitrary Pauling Scale hydrogen's relative electronegativity is less than that of chlorine, indicating that hydrogen attracts electrons in a bond more strongly. In hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid as an acid) the two shared electrons would be pulled towards hydrogen in a polar covalent bond. F, Cl, N, and O are the four most electronegative elements. Metals are least electronegative and nonmetals are the most.

Is chlorine more electronegative than sodium?
Chlorine is more electronegative than sodium. The farther right you move on the periodic table, the more electronegative elements are. Thus, noting that sodium and chlorine are on the same period, and chlorine is farther to the right than sodium, we know that chlorine is more electronegative than sodium
Is chlorine more electronegative than oxygen?
Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. The electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and that of chlorine is 3.16 on the Pauling scale.
Which element in H20 is more electronegative?
Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.
Is chlorine more electronegative than iodine?
Chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.
Is chlorine more electronegative than sulfur?
Chlorine is more electronegative than sulfur because by gaining an extra electron it is able to maximize the effective nuclear charge, therefore stabilizing it and giving it a noble gas arrangement.

Is hydrogen more electronegative than sulfur?
Sulfur is more electronegative than hydrogen
Is chlorine more electronegative than oxygen?
Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. The electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and that of chlorine is 3.16 on the Pauling scale.
Which element in H20 is more electronegative?
Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.
What is most electronegetive chlorine or sulfur?
Chlorine is more electronegative than sulfur.
Why the chlorine does not form hydrogen bond as the nitrogen do in spite the chlorine is more electronegative than nitrogen?
Size of Cl atom is bigger than size of N atom. Electronegativity difference is .12 which is negligible.
How does cl atom form a bond with a hydrogen atom?
Chlorine is very electronegative and pulls on the hydrogen's single electron, forming a positive end where the Hydrogen atom is, and a negative charge where the Chlorine is. This is because the Chlorine pulls much harder on the electron than Hydrogen does.
What element is more electronegative than chlorine?
There are more than one. They are F, O and N
Is chlorine more electronegative than iodine?
Chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.
Is chlorine more electronegative than sulfur?
Chlorine is more electronegative than sulfur because by gaining an extra electron it is able to maximize the effective nuclear charge, therefore stabilizing it and giving it a noble gas arrangement.
The chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do The hydrogen chloride molecule is therefore a nonpolar covalent molecule?
True. A measure of the ability of an atom to "attract" electrons is electronegativity. Cl is more electronegative than H.
Does the chlorine atoms in hydrogen chloride have a stronger attraction for the electrons than the hydrogen atoms do?
Yes. The electronegativity of chlorine is more than that of hydrogen. As such, the electrons are closer towards chlorine than hydrogen in HCl.
