Answer:

You would have something with Hydrogen in the middle and I believe the chlorine on the outside with 8 valence electrons and hydrogen with 1 valence electron

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a total of 8 valence electrons available to fill the octets of Chlorine and Hydrogen in the HCl Lewis structure. Remember that Hydrogen only needs two electrons to have a full outer shell.
