Statement 1: The chlorine atom in HCl develops a partial negative charge and hydrogen atoms develop a partial positive charge.

Statement 2: A chlorine atom with a lower electronegativity attracts the shared pair of electrons towards its nucleus.

Q. Assertion :Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition whereas aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition. Reason: In alkenes the double bond joins two carbon atoms and there is no resultant polarity. In carbonyl compounds, the carbonyl group is highly polar and the high partial positive charge on the C atom makes it subsceptible to nucleophilic attack.

Q. Why does positive charges one closer when a negatively charged object is brought near to it?

Q. When a positively-charged body is brought near an uncharged metal rod, the part of the rod near the charged body acquires a negative charge, and the far side a positive charge. Can you say why this happens? Remember that in a body, negative charges are mobile whereas positive charges are fixed.

Q. In case of charge why it flows from negative to positive? In all other case's flow is from positive to negative.
