Solution
The correct option is
A
True
Chlorine is more electronegative than Hydrogen.
So the electron pair shifts more toward the chlorine atom.
Thus partial positive charge is formed on Hydrogen and a partial negative charge is formed on Chlorine. So it is a dipolar molecule.
So the statement is
true.
