Best Answer

They form a polar molecule.

Explanation:

F atom in HF molecule are highly electronegative. Hence, there will be a permanent dipole, which is the F atom attract part of the electron making the electrons in H-F bond distributed unevenly. This causes a slight positive charge on H and slight negative charge on F.

Is hydrogen fluoride polar or non polar?

Hydrogen gas, H2, is nonpolar because both hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity, so the difference in electronegativity is 0, which means the bond is nonpolar, and since this is the only bond, the gas is nonpolar.


Because the electrons in a molecule of hydrogen fluoride (HF) are more strongly pulled toward the fluorine atom the molecule is nonpolar.?

That statement is incorrect. HF is a polar molecule because fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing the electron density to be pulled closer to the fluorine atom. As a result, HF has a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the fluorine atom.


Is F2 classified as a polar covalent?

No, fluorine F2 is a homonuclear molecule so there is no difference in electronegativity. This means that fluorine is a nonpolar compound.

What type of bond does hydrogen and fluorine make?

Fluorine atoms have a covalent bond between each other to form a covalent molecule. Fluorine bonded to a metal will have ionic bonds. Fluorine bonded to a non-meatl will have polar covalent bonding.


Is oxygen and fluorine a polar or nonpolar covalent bond?

polar


Will a compound of one hydrogen atom and one fluorine atom be a polar molecule?

yes


Is hydrogen polar on nonpolar?

Hydrogen is non-polar.


What covalent bonds is the most polar hydrogen and fluorine or hydrogen and nitrogen?

Electronegativity Difference HF = 1.9 = ionic bond HC = 0.4 = nonpolar covalent HH = 0 = nonpolar covalent HN = 0.9 = polar covalent HN is the more polar bond. HF is not polar covalent, it is ionic.
