Sodium chloride is an ionic compound where as hydrogen chloride gas is mainly convalent because

Answer»

A) electronegativity difference in the CASE of hydrogen is less 2.1
B) hydrogen chloride is a gas
C) hydrogen is a non-metal
D) SODIUM is reactive.

Solution :NaCl is an ionic compound. The electronegativity difference between Na and CL is 2.1. In HCl gas the electronegativity difference between H and Cl is less than 2.1 so it is mainly covalent compound.
