In chemical combination of H-atom with sodium, it gains an electron but in the case of HF, the H-atom:
Correct answer: B. Loses 1e-
- A. Gains 2e-
- B. Loses 1e-
- C. Loses 2e-
- D. Gains 1e-
Explanation
Option B Lose 1e- is correct since in the case of HF, the H-atom will lose 1e- as F tends to gain electrons.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
