The reaction zn (s) + hcl (aq) --> zncl2 (aq) + h2 (g) is not entirely correct. explain what is wrong with it. what kind of bonds are present in the aqueous product?

equation is not balanced.

Hydrochloric acid have covalent bond and zinc chloride have ionic bond but this is not very strong. It has more covalent behavior.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Zn(s) + HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Balanced chemical equation:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

When zinc is react with hydrochloric acid zinc chloride and hydrogen gas are formed.

Hydrochloric acid have covalent bond and zinc chloride have ionic bond but this is not very strong. It has more covalent behavior.

Cl have seven valance electrons it needed one electron to complete the octet it combine with hydrogen through covalent bond and both have complete octet.

Zinc loses to electrons that combine with two atoms of chlorine and form zinc chloride.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
