 Explain about the type of bonding present in hydrogen fluoride?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In hydrogen fluoride (HF), for example, one molecule is strongly attracted to the fluorine on its neighboring hydrogen. In both liquid and solid, hydrogen fluoride forms long hydrogen bonded zig-zag chains as a consequence of the orientation of the lone pairs on the fluorine atoms.
