Hydrogen fluoride, with the symbol HF, is a polar molecule. This is due to fluorine being more electronegative compared to hydrogen. This creates a difference in electronegativity, which makes HF a polar bond.

∙ 14y agofluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen.hence it would pull electrons of shared pair towards itself more strongly. Then a hydrogen bond would be formed between HF molecules.Hence it is polar covalent.
H-F.........H-F..........H-F.......H-F

∙ 12y agoHF has hydrogen bonding as one of its IMF's because it contains a hydrogen and Either N,O, or F. You can remember this by thinking of FON!!! Chemistry is FON!!!
--------------
The hydrogen bonding is not between H and F in the molecule; this hydrogen bonding is between HF molecules which form chains of molecules.

∙ 13y agoHigh difference in electronegativity between F- and H+ makes HF a polar bond. F is the most electronegative element and H is only slightly electronegative, hence the bond becomes polar, with electrons being pulled more toward F.

Is HF a polar covalent bond?
It is polar covalent bond because electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.
Does HF have a single covalent bond?
Yes but it is polar
Does HF have a polar covalent bond?
yes it is a polar covalent bond. the difference of electronegativities of H and F is 1.9 , it should be an ionic bond but the ratio of atomic sizes of both the atoms is responsible for polar covalent bond.
What element is a polar covalent bond?
No single element can form a bond. Only 2 or more elements can form bonds. Polar bonds occur when there is a dipole moment, or there is asymmetry in the structure. For example, HF forms a polar covalent bond.
What type of bond is formed between the two atoms in the compound HF?
Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.
Is HF a polar covalent bond?
It is polar covalent bond because electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.
Does HF have a single covalent bond?
Yes but it is polar
What covalent bond is most polar?
A good candidate would be the bond in HF.
Which of the following molecules has a polar covalent bond iron oxide (Fe2O3) potassium chloride (KCl) bromine gas (Br2) hydrogen fluoride (HF)?
HF has a polar covalent bond.
Does HF have a polar covalent bond?
yes it is a polar covalent bond. the difference of electronegativities of H and F is 1.9 , it should be an ionic bond but the ratio of atomic sizes of both the atoms is responsible for polar covalent bond.
Is HF an ionic or covalent?
a very polar, single, covalent bond, yes. This would be an ionic bond. The electronegativity of Hydrogen is about 2.2 and the electronegativity of Fluorine is about 4.0. The difference is 1.8 which is greater than 1.7, the minimum difference for an ionic bond. Or it is (at least) a very polar-covalent bond. Figures 1.7 or 1.8 are in the 'discussion' range

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.
What type of bond is formed between the two atoms in the compound HF?
Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.
Is HF a weak bond?
HF is a weak polar bond
Is HF a covalent molecule?
Yes! Polar covalent.
A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally is?
Polar (covalent) bonds share electrons in an unequal distrbutium between bith atomic nuclides.
