[AIIMS 2001]
Options:
A) HF
B) HCl
C) $ HNO_3 $
D) $ H_2SO_4 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
We know that greater the difference in electronegativity of two atoms forming a covalent bond. More is its polar nature. In HF there is a much difference in the electronegatives of hydrogen and flourine. Therefore (HF) is a polar compound.
