It is non linear with bond angles of ~ 127° and ~ 102° respectively, as for the polarity, I'd imagine it's polar, but because it's a radical, you can't really do the proper experiments. See related info. If you meant this as a compound and not a radical, it doesn't exist.

HCF does not exist as a stable compound. However, if you meant HCF2 (hydrogen cyanide fluoride), it is polar due to the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen, carbon, and fluorine atoms. The molecular shape of HCF2 is linear.

How do you use shapes to predict molecular polarity?

if molecular shape is symmatrical then its non-polar but if it is non symmatrical then its polar.


How does molecular shape effect polarity?

The molecular geometry of a compound helps to determine polarity because, it indicates the number of lone pairs on a central atom thus giving it specified angles and polarity (only if there are lone pairs because if there are no lone pairs on the central atom, them it is non-polar).


How do you know if a molecular compound has a dipole-dipole attraction?

A dipole moment is defined as a measure of the molecular polarity of a compound; the magnitude of the partial charges on the ends of a molecule times the distance between them (in meters). In order for there to be a dipole moment the element must must have molecular polarity which results from molecules with a net imbalance of charge (often a result of differences in electronegativity). If the molecule has more than two atoms, both shape and bond polarity determines the molecular polarity. In general look for a difference in electronegativity of the elements of a molecule which results in polarity and thus a possible dipole moment. Note that molecular shape influence polarity so molecules with the same elements but a different shape (and vice versa) won't have the same dipole moment.


Is IF polar or non polar?

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a dietary pattern and not a chemical compound, so it does not have a molecular structure that determines its polarity.


Which two physical properties allow a mixture to be separated by chromatography?

Size and shape. However, chemical properties are usually more important.
