The molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in $\mathrm{HF}$

The molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in $\mathrm{HF}$
  1. ion-induced dipole
  2. dipole-dipole
  3. dipole-induced dipole
  4. ion-dipole

Solution

Hydrogen bond is simply dipole-dipole attraction within oppositely partially charged ends. In HF molecule, electronegativity difference is remarkable, due to which it behaves as a dipole. In the gaseous state several HF molecules polymerises through $\mathrm{H}$-bonding.
