Fluorine (F) is much more electronegative that Hydrogen (H), which means that the electrons in the HF compound will be more attracted to F than to H, giving F a partial positive charge and H a partial negative charge, even though the molecule is neutral overall.

Fluorine is more electronegative than Hydrogen, so the electrons are more attracted to Fluorine, making H-F polar

Fluorine is highly electronegative if you look at the periodic table, thus very polar.
