The electronegativity of Hydrogen is about 2.2 and the electronegativity of Fluorine is about 4.0.
- Thus the negative pole is more on the Fluorine side
Extra:
The difference is 1.8 which is greater than 1.7, the minimum difference for an ionic bond.
So this would be an ionic bond.
Or it is (at least) a very polar-covalent bond. Figures 1.7 or 1.8 are in the 'discussion' range

IS the bond between H and F in hf polar or nonpolar?
An OH molecule is polar. Because the oxygen has a higher electronegativity, it will have the shared electron much more than the hydrogen. Therefore the oxygen end of the molecule will develop a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen end a slightly negative one.
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.
Why is the standard enthalpy change of neutralization between hydrofluoric acid and sodium hydroxide more negative than usual?
Because of high of heat of Hydration of HF ( Fluoride ion is extensively hydrated because of it's small size )
Is HF a oxyacid?
HF is not an oxyacid; no oxygen in the molecule.
What is the chemical Formula of hydroflouric acid?
The chemical formula for Hydroflouric acid is HF It is not a very reactive acid but Fluorine,which is in this acid is very reactive
Is HF a weak bond?
HF is a weak polar bond
What makes the bond in hf polar bond?
F has more electronegative. That means that F doesn't share electrons nicely. It holds the electron closer and doesn't let H have it much. This makes F more negative and H more positive.
What is the bond type of HF?
HF (Hydrogen Flouride) is an ionic bond in all states.
What type of bonding HF is?
hydrogen bond
Does hf form hydrogen bond?
Yes, it can.
What covalent bond is most polar?
A good candidate would be the bond in HF.
What molecules contains a covalent bond HF CN- LiCl MgO?
HF and CN- have covalent bonds.
Molecule with a positive end and a negative end?
Polar molecules have partial negative and partial positive charges on opposing sides. They have a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges.
Does HF have a single covalent bond?
Yes but it is polar
Is HF a polar covalent bond?
It is polar covalent bond because electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.
IS the bond between H and F in hf polar or nonpolar?
An OH molecule is polar. Because the oxygen has a higher electronegativity, it will have the shared electron much more than the hydrogen. Therefore the oxygen end of the molecule will develop a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen end a slightly negative one.
Why is HF a polar covalent bond?
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.
