Answer:
HCl is a polar covalent compound, because of electronegativity difference between Cl(3.5) and hydrogen (2).
When we dissolve HCl to a polar solvent like water it gets dissolve this happens because OH- in the water approaches to hydrogen (H+δ-Cl-δ ) of HCl for hydrogen bonding as it has already partial positive charge. Hence in this way, the bond between HCl breaks and they formed ions in the polar solvent like water.
