For hydrochloric acid, can you help me answer/ draw/ explain the following:

 1. Lewis structure

2. any good resonance structures

3. any individual polar bonds in the molecule

4. any overall polarity of the molecule (dipole). If you have a salt of a polyatomic anion and a cation, show the overall dipole moment on the polyatomic ion.

5. show the electron geometry for interior atoms

6. show the molecular geometry for the covalently bonded portion of the molecule. If you had a simple salt like NaCl instead, what is the lattice structure?

how would you Demonstrate 5 and 6 with balloons or sticks/playdough?

7. What kind of bonding occurs within the molecule as well as between the molecules?
