Hydrochloric Acid: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is similar to hydrogen fluoride but consists of chlorine instead of fluorine.

Water Molecule: Like HF, water molecules also form hydrogen bonds due to the presence of polar covalent bonds between oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

Ammonia Molecule: Ammonia (NH3) has similar bonding characteristics as HF because it can form hydrogen bonds with other ammonia molecules.
