Question

what kind of charge does an ionic compound carry? neutral positive negative unknown is a molecule of hydrogen chloride (hcl) polar or nonpolar? nonpolar covalent bond neither polar covalent bond both

Explanation:

1. Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the total positive charge of the cations equals the total negative charge of the anions.
2. In a hydrogen - chloride (HCl) molecule, chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. The unequal sharing of electrons between hydrogen and chlorine results in a polar covalent bond.

Answer:

1. neutral
2. polar covalent bond
