HF and HCl dipole?
Hello,
I wanted to ask why HF and HCl are each a dipole?
If you look at the electronegativity difference, they are clearly polar.
But both are symmetrically constructed, so the charge would balance out and it wouldn't be a dipole, right? Or are other factors decisive?
Thanks
Flour is strong electronegative and hydrogen barely, which is why a dipole is produced, since the electrons are more attracted by the float than by the hydrogen.

Precisely in hydrogen chloride
Symmetrical? There is a clearly positive side in both molecules and a clear negative side. How’s that supposed to be?
