Question

give name of compound and ions present in hcl
​

Answer 1

Hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Hydrogen chloride (HCl), a compound of the elements hydrogen and chlorine, a gas at room temperature and pressure. A solution of the gas in water is called hydrochloric acid.

When HCl is dissolved in water, ions of H and Cl are formed. Hydrogen loses an electron (becoming an ion of +1 charge) and chlorine gains an electron (becoming an ion of -1 charge). Strong acids, like HCl, release many more hydrogen ions in water than do weak acids, like vinegar or lemon juice.
