There are two types of chemical compound one is covalent compound and another is ionic compound, covalent compound formed by sharing of electron and ionic compound formed by complete transfer of electron. The correct representation is option D. What is chemical Compound? Chemical Compound is a combination of molecule, Molecule forms by combination of element and element forms by combination of atoms in fixed proportion. Covalent bond is present in molecule HCl. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outermost shell. Chlorine has 7 electrons in its valence shell. So one one electron from each element is shared between them to form a covalent bond. Therefore, the correct representation of arrangement of electrons in a hydrogen chloride molecule is option D. To learn more about chemical compound, here: brainly.com/question/26487468 #SPJ2
