Question

Why does aqua solution of hcl behaves like strong electrolyte do hcl is a covalent compound?

Answer 1

HCl is a covalent compound with ionic character...........hope it helps :)

Answer 2

hey

When HCl dissociates, it will add H+ ions along with Cl- ions to the solution. 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
