Anhydrous means "without water." Exactly what you mean by anhydrous compounds is not perfectly clear, because it might mean one of several things:
Anhydrous ether means ether which has been chemically dried so that it contains absolutely no water. This is done with other solvents as well, because certain chemical reactions can be messed up by even a trace of water.
There are also acid anhydrides, which are in a sense dehydrated acid; two carboxylic acid functional groups can react with each other in such a way as to eliminate a water molecule.
Finally, many inorganic salts crystallize along with water, and if this is driven off then the result is usually called anhydrous (whatever) to distinguish it from the usual form.

Most polar compounds like HCl are hydrophilic as they split into ions as they are mixed with water.

How can molecular compounds be distinguished from ionic compounds?
Many ionic compounds exist as crystals but covalent compounds as molecules (there are exceptions as diamond though). Ionic compounds would be good electrical conductors unlike molecular compounds.
What are 2 ways in which compounds form?
There are two types of compounds according to their bonding, ionic and covalent. Compounds can be divided into two with respect to their appearance, molecular compounds and crystalline compounds.
