Why does the chlorine atom in hydrogen chloride acquire a slightly negative charge?

Why does the chlorine atom in hydrogen chloride acquire a slightly negative charge? Chlorine has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, and, therefore, attracts the bonding electrons slightly away from hydrogen. ... Dispersion forces generally increase in strength as the number of electrons in a molecule increases.

convalent bond :

is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of electron between 2 atoms.

it is the direct chemical bond between 2 atoms.

in bond formation atoms are involved here.

electrovalent bond:

is a chemical bond defined as electroststic attraction between 2 atoms.

it is the electrostatic attraction between 2 atoms.

in bond formation, ions are involved here.

hope it
