Re: HF
^Furthermore, because F is so electronegative, the H-F bond is shorter, and make it harder for the H+ ion (aka proton) to dissociate from the HF molecule.

Re: HF
HF is a weak acid because the H-F bond is incredibly strong due to the electronegativity of F and the small atomic radius of F. As a result, it has short bonds that aren't equally broken, which translates to low levels of dissociation.
