Hydrogen fluoride has a low melting point because in pure liquid the HF molecules are almost nonpolar (no ions) and very small.

Does hydrogen have a high or a low melting point?

hydrogen is a gas consequently doesn't have a melting point. You can't melt oxygen can you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually oxygen can freeze and melt: its melting point is -361.8°F (-218.8°C). Even hydrogen can freeze and melt: its melting point is -434.49 °F(−259.16°C) These are very cold temperatures!
