In a hydrogen chloride molecule, the partial negative charge sits on the:

1. A polar bond puts unequal charge on its two ends. 2. The more electronegative atom draws the shared pair toward itself. 3. In the hydrogen chloride molecule, the more electronegative chlorine atom bears the partial negative charge. 4. The less electronegative hydrogen atom bears the partial positive charge. _Source: OpenStax Chemistry 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 10 'Liquids and Solids', sections 10.1-10.6_
