hydrogen can be termed as polar covalent compound
as chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. so the force of attraction on the shared pair, exerted by chlorine is more than that of hydrogen .consequently chlorine became negetively charged and hydrogen becames slightly positivEly charged.

The bonding of hydrogen and chlorine atoms leans more towards Cl atom.
This is because Cl is more electronegative in nature than the hydrogen. Thus the shared pair of electrons lie not exactly in between the bond but lean towards chlorine.This causes the Cl atom to acquire a slight negative charge, and H atom a slight positive charge.This will make the covalent bond between H and Cl to possess an appreciable ionic character.
Hº + •Cl::: → Hº •Cl:::
