Can ionic compunds be in an aqueos state?...rather than a solid state?

Yes,Ammonia NH3+ or Ammonium NH4+ for example. If the temperature for the substance is "right". It will be in the liquid state. If these compunds in their dissosiatited forms form say Ammonium Sulphate; NH4(2)(SO4) and then cool from the gaseous state to the liquid state. Hydrochloric Acid is not an ionic compound. Since,the charges cancel out. H+ (+) Cl- = HCl. The compund formed is neutral.
Factual Chemistry.

First i want to tell that the first and second answers are wrong as HCl is not an ionic compound but it dissociates is water forming ions due to its about 40% ionic character (it has about 60% covalant character).
aqueous state is state in which a substance is dissolved in water.since the ionic compounds dissolve in water so they are in aqueous state

Consider dissolving solid sodium hydroxide pellets in water.The NaOH has a (s) subscript representing solid. When you add it to the water, it becomes aqueous. the equation would be written:
NaOH(s) + H2O(l) -> Na+1(aq) + (OH)-1(aq)
where (l) is liquid and (aq) is aqueous, and the charges are written as superscripts.

yes, HCL is one of that kind
H+ and CL- form an ionic bond

Yes.Hydrochloric acid is one.

yup chlorides (and other halogens), hydroxides (OH-)
