Detailed Solution

HCl and CCl4 cannot be ionic compounds since they are covalent. Covalent bonding are found in non-ionic substances. Because two atoms share a pair of electrons in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), covalent bonds are formed. Potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl) combine to generate ionic compounds because they both have positive and negative ions.
