  • Hydrogen Fluoride (HF): Formula, Properties & Bonding
    The formula for compound hydrogen and fluorine is HF, which stands for hydrogen fluoride.

    Here's why:

    * Hydrogen (H) has one valence electron.

    * Fluorine (F) has seven valence electrons and wants to gain one more to complete its octet.

    Therefore, one hydrogen atom can share its electron with one fluorine atom, forming a single covalent bond. This results in the molecule HF.
