Question

Explain the formation of HCl molecule based on valence bond theory.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Example 4: Hydrogen chloride (HCl)

1s orbital H-atom axially overlaps with the 3P31 orbital of Cl-atom forming a  s-p bond. Electro negativity of Cl-atom is more than that of H-atom. The bond electron pair is attracted to a greater extent by the chlorine.
