When an atom of hydrogen and an atom of fluorine bond together

• the H will be partially positive, because it has a higher electronegativity than F.

• the H will be partially negative, because it has a higher electronegativity than F.

• the F will be partially positive, because it has a higher electronegativity than H.

• the F will be partially negative, because it has a higher electronegativity than H.
