What is the electron dot formula for the molecule formed when hydrogen combines with chlorine?

We can logically walk through this. Hydrogen has 1 proton, and 1 electron. Chlorine has 17. If these were to combine stably, Argon would be made. Argon is a noble gas and therefore has 8 full valence electron slots.

How many chlorine atoms are present for every atom in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
There is 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom in Hydrogen Chloride.
Why the reaction between hydrogen and chlorine is very slow at room temperature?
Because hydrogen molecule is very stable and it is because of high dissociation enthalpy of hydrogen molecule, it reacts slowly with chlorine at room temperature.
Which is the fastest moving gas molecule?
electron
Is hydrogen a compound?
No. Hydrogen is not a compound.Related Information:A compound molecule consists of two or more differentelements.An elemental hydrogen molecule is diatomic, composed of two atoms of the same element, so is not a compound, even though it is bonded like some compounds.Naturally occurring hydrogen consists of diatomic molecules of hydrogen. The outer shell electron, the only electron, of each of two hydrogen atoms tends to form one covalently bonded molecule, H2.
What is the electron pair geometry for a hydrogen sulfide molecule?
Tetrahedral =)
Why do hydrogen combines with chlorine in sunlight?
It is a photochemical reaction; the diatomic molecule of chlorine is photochemically (under the action of photons) dissociated in chlorine radicals. Chlorine radicals react with the diatomic molecule of hydrogen to form hydrogen chloride (HCl). A radical chain reaction was initiated and is continued. For details you can read a very interesting article at the link below.
What is the charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.
What is the charge associated with each side of the HCl molecule?
HCl has a single bond in between hydrogen and chlorine. Hydrogen's one and only electron is tied up in that bond. Chlorine's other 6 valence electrons are on that side due to chlorine's high electronegativity. So, the chlorine side will be negative and the hydrogen side will be positive. This makes HCl a highly polar molecule.
What compound combines the elements oxygen and hydrogen?
A hydrogen bond combines oxygen and hydrogen in the H2O molecule also known as water.
Why Hcl molecule is polar?
Because hydrogen and chlorine have a difference of electronegativity 0.9, chlorine is more electronegative so shared electron pair is more closer to chlorine and it acquires partially negative charge.
What is the formula for the chlorine sulfur hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulfide?
Chlorine atom - Cl Chlorine molecule - Cl2 since chlorine is a diatomic gas Sulfur atom - S Sulfur molecule - S8 Hydrogen chloride - HCl Hydrogen sulfide - H2S
Is HCl a covalent bond?
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.

What is the elements of HCl?
The formula for hydrochloric acid is HCl. Each molecule of hydrochloric acid is composed of one atom of hydrogen and one molecule of chlorine.
What do you get when you combine1 hydrogen atom with one chlorine atom?
One molecule of a compound of hydrogen and chlorine that is called hydrogen chloride and has the formula HCl.
How does chlorine bond with others to form a molecule?
Gaining an electron chlorine fprms covalent bonds.
How many chlorine atoms are present for every atom in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
There is 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom in Hydrogen Chloride.
