    Hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) does not conduct electricity because as a gas it exists as non-ionic covalent molecules that do not contain free ions which are necessary for conducting electricity. However, when HCl dissolves in water it forms hydrochloric acid which exists as separate hydronium (H3O+) and chloride (Cl-) ions that allow it to conduct electricity.

    Hcl in gaseous state does not conduct elect

    Why does hydrogen chloride gas


    not conduct electricity?
    EDIT
    Answer by Emanissoawesome
    For the conductance of electricity through chemical substances
    there must be free ions, and HCl gas do not have any free ions,
    though when it is in water it is in its ionic form and conducts
    electricity.

    Why can a solution of hydrochloric acid conduct


    electricity but pure hydrogen chloride cannot?
    1. Pure hydrogen chloride is a covalent bond molecule. There are no ions and therefore can't conduct
    electricity.
    2. HCl, when aqueous, has ions and it is these ions that conduct electricity.

    Ethyl contains hydrogen still not an acid why


    Coz when ethyl alcohol is dissolved in water it does not not completely ionise to
    give H+ ions hense it is very a weak acid ehich does not turn blue litmus paper
