2. A scientist is investigating the chemical properties of a hydrogen atom (H), which has an

electroegativtiy of 2.1, and a chlorine atom (CI), which has an electronegativity of 3.0.
Suppose these two atoms form a chemical bond resulting in the compound HCI.
Predict whether the compound is held together by an ionic, a polar covalent,
a nonpolar covalent, or a hydrogen bond.
Explain your prediction.
Describe the bond in terms of its electrical charge. (PLEASE HELP I NEED IT BY 11:59 50 POINTS)
