Chlorine is non-polar molecule while HCl is polar covalent, Explain?


In a molecule of chlorine (Cl2), the shared pair of electrons is attracted equally between the two chlorine atoms and the resulting bond is nonpolar.



Hence, chlorine is a non-polar molecule. On the other hand, in H-Cl the bonding electrons are not equally shared by the two atoms. The shared electron pair is strongly attracted towards the more electronegative chlorine atom.
