both h2o and HCl are polar compounds they should react being polar compound's.

in h20 hydrogen carries positive charge and oxygen consists of negative charge.

similarly in hcl hydrogen carries positive charge and chlorine carries negative charge.

both chlorine and oxygen are negative so they will repel each other the remaining hydrogen will be attracted towards the negatively charged oxygen and forms h30 and cl respectively.
