Why is hf covalent
Dear Student,
Thats why , HF is is polar covalent bond.
Regards,
HF molecule is a polar molecule and H-F bond is a polar covalent bond because of the unequal sharing of electrons between more electronegative i.e F atom and less electronegative i.e H atom. So fluorine pulls electrons away from hydrogen. This gives the fluorine a partial negative charge and hydrogen a partial positive charge.The partial positive charge represented by ‘δ+' and the partial negative charge is represented by ‘δ− ′ ,figure shown below:-
