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.
