(a)
Interpretation:
The polar bond in HCl is to be determined and it is also to be determined whether it is polar or nonpolar.
Concept Introduction:
The polar bond is formed between the two unlike atoms having electronegative difference ranges from 0.5-1.9. The polar bond represents the arrow towards the high electronegative element, while the tail towards the low electronegative element. The negative sign is given to the high electronegative element while a positive sign is given to the low electronegative element.
(b)
Interpretation:
The polar bond in
