Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

In case of a heteronuclear molecule like $HF$, the shared electron pair between the two atoms gets displaced more towards fluorine since, the electronegativity of fluorine is far greater than that of hydrogen. The resultant covalent bond is a polar covalent bond. It is as follows :
