They would share an electron, but given any opportunity at all, the fluorine will hog the electron leaving the hydrogen high and positive.

Can hydrogen and oxygen form an ionic bond?
No. Hydrogen and oxygen bond covalently.
What can fluorine covalently bond with?
it forms pure covalent bonds with the non metals
Is hydrogen sulfide a covalent or ionic bond?
hydrogen sulfide is covalently bonded.
What type of bond holds fluorine and hydrogen together?
covalent bond
What is formed when you bond hydrogen and fluorine?
The hydrogen fluoride (HF) is formed.
Would strontium and Fluorine covalently bond?
no ionic strontium is a metal and flourine is a nonmetal
What would most likely bond with argon?
Hydrogen and hydrogen+fluorine.
Can hydrogen and oxygen form an ionic bond?
No. Hydrogen and oxygen bond covalently.
What happens when hydrogen's electron gets close to the valence shell of a fluorine atom?
When hydrogen and fluorine atoms bond, a permanent net dipole forms resulting from hydrogen being covalently bonded to the fluorine as hydrogen bonds form. the hydrogen bond is the strongest type of intermolecular force since the hydrogen nucleus is extremely small and positively charged and fluorine is very electronegative so that the electron on the hydrogen atom is strongly attracted to the fluorine. this leaves a highly localised positive charge on the hydrogen atom and highly negative localised charge on the fluorine. this means the electrostatic attraction between these molecules will be greater than for the polar molecules that do not have hydrogen covalently bonded to either fluorine. because the fluorine atom is unstable, as is the hydrogen, because they have not filled up their valence shell, they bond together quickly, and because of their opposing charges, very strongly. have a look at some online animations, with will become very clear to you. (-) (-) (-) (strong hydrogen bonds) (-) F ----------------------------------------… H (+) (-) (-) it looks a little bit like that, the (-) negative charges on the fluorine attract the positive (+) charge on the hydrogen, forming in hydrogen bonds (----). The fluorine has 7 electrons and the (---) is where both H and F share the electron.
What can fluorine covalently bond with?

Is hydrogen sulfide a covalent or ionic bond?
hydrogen sulfide is covalently bonded.
Does CCl2F2 have hydrogen bond?
CCl2F2 can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor at the fluorine atoms, by not as a hydrogen bond donor, as it does not have any hydrogen atoms.
What is a weak interaction involving a hydrogen atom and a fluorine oxygen or nitrogen atom?
That would be called a HYDROGEN BOND
What type of bond holds fluorine and hydrogen together?
covalent bond
What is formed when you bond hydrogen and fluorine?
The hydrogen fluoride (HF) is formed.
Is hydrogen gas an ionic or molecular bond?
Hydrogen gas (H2) is covalently (molecularly) bonded.
Why is the bond between H and F is not ionic but the electronegativity difference is 1.9?
The bond between hydrogen and fluorine is not a covalent bond. When hydrogen bonds with oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine, then it is called a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds will be stronger than a regular covalent bond, so the electronegativity difference will be higher.
