Question

drag and drop the correct answer choice to each answer blank. or, kruch the answer choice followed by the answer blank. the electron dot formula for hcl is shown below. h cl complete the following statement by moving the answers to the correct boxes. hydrogen chloride hydrochloric acid ionic polar covalent covalent this compound is hydrogen chloride in its molecular form. it forms a/an ionic bond since its electrons are shared

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: HCl in molecular form (as a gas) is named hydrogen chloride. Hydrochloric acid is the aqueous solution of HCl. So the first blank should be "hydrogen chloride".
2. For the second blank: HCl has a bond where electrons are shared (covalent), and due to the difference in electronegativity between H and Cl, it's a polar covalent bond. Ionic bonds involve transfer of electrons, not sharing. So the bond type is polar covalent (or covalent, but polar covalent is more specific as H and Cl have electronegativity difference). But since the options include "polar covalent" and "covalent", and the sharing of electrons points to covalent, and the polarity makes it polar covalent. However, the initial wrong answer was "ionic", which is incorrect. The correct bond type for HCl (molecular) is polar covalent (or covalent). Let's correct:

First blank: "hydrogen chloride" (correct as molecular form name).

Second blank: The bond in HCl (molecular) is covalent (specifically polar covalent) because electrons are shared between H and Cl. Ionic bonds are for electron transfer (like in NaCl). So the correct bond type is "covalent" (or "polar covalent"). Let's check the options: options are "ionic", "polar covalent", "covalent". Since electrons are shared, it's covalent (or polar covalent). The initial answer "ionic" is wrong. So the correct bond type is "covalent" (or "polar covalent"). Let's proceed:

Answer:

First blank: A. hydrogen chloride
Second blank: E. covalent (or D. polar covalent, as HCl is a polar covalent compound due to electronegativity difference between H and Cl, and the bond is covalent with polarity. But among the options, "covalent" or "polar covalent" are correct, while "ionic" is incorrect. So replacing "ionic" with "covalent" (or "polar covalent"). Assuming the options are: A. hydrogen chloride, B. hydrochloric acid, C. ionic, D. polar covalent, E. covalent. So first blank: A. hydrogen chloride; second blank: D. polar covalent (or E. covalent, but polar covalent is more accurate for HCl as the bond has polarity due to electronegativity difference between H and Cl).
