Chapter 7, Problem 33E

Correct the following statement: “The bonds in solid ${\text{PbCl}}_2$ are ionic; the bond in a HCl molecule is covalent. Thus, all of the valence electrons in ${\text{PbCl}}_2$ are located on the ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$ ions, and all of the valence electrons in a HCl molecule are shared between the H and Cl atoms.”
