yes it is a polar covalent bond. the difference of electronegativities of H and F is 1.9 , it should be an ionic bond but the ratio of atomic sizes of both the atoms is responsible for polar covalent bond.

Is HF a polar covalent bond?
It is polar covalent bond because electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.
Does HF have a single covalent bond?
Yes but it is polar
What element is a polar covalent bond?
No single element can form a bond. Only 2 or more elements can form bonds. Polar bonds occur when there is a dipole moment, or there is asymmetry in the structure. For example, HF forms a polar covalent bond.
What type of bond is formed between the two atoms in the compound HF?
Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.
Is HF a weak bond?
HF is a weak polar bond
Is HF a polar covalent bond?
It is polar covalent bond because electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.
Does HF have a single covalent bond?
Yes but it is polar
What covalent bond is most polar?
A good candidate would be the bond in HF.
Which of the following molecules has a polar covalent bond iron oxide (Fe2O3) potassium chloride (KCl) bromine gas (Br2) hydrogen fluoride (HF)?
HF has a polar covalent bond.
Is HF an ionic or covalent?
a very polar, single, covalent bond, yes. This would be an ionic bond. The electronegativity of Hydrogen is about 2.2 and the electronegativity of Fluorine is about 4.0. The difference is 1.8 which is greater than 1.7, the minimum difference for an ionic bond. Or it is (at least) a very polar-covalent bond. Figures 1.7 or 1.8 are in the 'discussion' range

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.
What type of bond is formed between the two atoms in the compound HF?
Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.
Is HF a weak bond?
HF is a weak polar bond
Is HF a covalent molecule?
Yes! Polar covalent.
A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally is?
Polar (covalent) bonds share electrons in an unequal distrbutium between bith atomic nuclides.
What is the increasing ordor of electronegativity in ionic bond and polar covalent bond and non polar covalent bond?
In the increasing order, they are non polar covalent bond < polar covalent bond < ionic bond.
