What type of compound does the formula, HCl, represent?
A. Ionic salt
b. Covalent molecule

Respuesta :

Hydrogen chloride, HCl, is a gas in which the hydrogen and chlorine are covalently bound, but if HCl is bubbled into water, it ionizes completely to give the H+ and Cl- of a hydrochloric acid solution.
So to conclude, I'll say it's b. Covalent molecule

Answer:

b. Covalent molecule

Explanation:

Covalent molecules are usually alkali and they are non-metals. Non-metals tend to end in the suffix CI which represents chlorine. This means that HCI has to be a covalent compound, since chlorine is part of the covalent (⊂) seismic grouping.
