What is the strongest intermolecular force in H2O?

I would imagine Hydrogen Bond. It is hydrogen bond because hydrogen fluoride and water have a large dipole. The electronegative atom attracts electrons away from the hydrogen atom leaving the hydrogen atom almost unshielded proton with a partial positive charge.


Can hydrogen fluoride be dissolved in pure water?

Is Hydrogen fluoride anhydrous the same as Hydrofluoric Acid?

No. Hydrofluoric acid is aqueous hydrogen fluoride (dissolved in water). Hydrogen fluoride will form hydrofluoric acid when it comes in contact with water.
