Explanation:

Actually, because the compound HCl contains H atoms bound to the nonmetal Chlorine, this type of compound is known as a nonmetal hydride. When placed in water, the HCl acts as a source of H+ ions thus lowering the pH of the solution.

Answer:

Since the chlorine atom is much more electronegative than the hydrogen atom, the covalent bond between the two atoms is quite polar. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. Many bonds can be covalent in one situation and ionic in another. ... But in HCl, the electrons are shared in the H-Cl bond, which is why it is covalent.
