Which of the following statements about the compound HCI is true?
a. The physical and chemical properties of HCI are different from those of H2 and CI2.
b. Only the physical properties of HCI are different from those of H2 and CI2.
c. Only the chemical properties of HCI are different from those of H2 and CI2.
d. The physical and chemical properties of HCI are the same are those of H2 and CI2.

The answer should be a. The physical and chemical properties of HCl are different from those of H2 and Cl2. Although H2 and Cl2 can react to form HCl, they are different compounds so will have different properties both physical and chemical.
