wether hydochloric acid is covalent or ionic...?
Dear rahul,
ΔEN HCl = 3.16 - 2.20 = 0.94
where EN of H = 2.20 and EN of cl = 3.16 next.. by convention...the "rules" for labeling IONIC vs covalent are these... if ΔEN ≤0.5, the compound is NON polar covalent if 0.5 < ΔEN ≤ 1.5, the compound is POLAR covalent if 1.5 < ΔEN ≤ 2.0 AND the compound contains NO metals, it is polar covalent if 1.5 < ΔEN ≤ 2.0 AND the compound contains a metal, it is IONIC if 2.0 < ΔEN, the compound is ionic so HCl is a POLAR COVALENT molecule by definition.
