Why predict when you can know? most of these questions asked can be answered using wikipedia...

search it a bit, and if you dont find it, try the other links on the bottom of that page.

hydrogen chloride is a gas, but it is not simply a mixture of hydrogen gas and chlorine gas, but a compound of H+ and Cl- ions, i.e., it is composed of diatomic molecules, each consisting of a hydrogen atom H and a chlorine atom Cl connected by a covalent single bond. Since the chlorine atom is much more electronegative than the hydrogen atom, the covalent bond between the two atoms is quite polar. Consequently, the molecule has a large dipole moment with a negative partial charge δ– at the chlorine atom and a positive partial charge δ+ at the hydrogen atom. The presence of these charges would make it more conductive than a mixture of neutral gases.
