In this problem, we are going to illustrate two molecules of hcl hydrochloric acid.
00:08
And so let's start by drawing our first molecule.
00:15
And so here is our h, here is our cl, and regarding hl, looking at our periodic table and the respective values for electronegativity.
00:30
Chlorine has a greater affinity for electrons as opposed to hydrogen.
00:35
And so there will be an uneven sharing of electrons.
00:40
And so there will be a, what we call a delta positive, where the h is indicating that our hydrogen, near our hydrogen atom, there is slightly a positive charge.
00:53
And likewise, there is going to be a delta negative over here.
01:00
Sorry about that.
01:01
A delta negative over here by the chlorine atom because of its electronegativity and its affinity to hog more electrons, giving it a slight negative charge.
01:12
Now, let's draw another hcl molecule.
01:17
And so the hcl molecule, we're going to draw, we'll have an orientation like this...
