H+F->HF

Explanation:

If the equation must show the formation of HF from single, isolated atoms, then the equation would have to be:

H+F->HF

If the question was asking for the formation reaction of HF in solution from ions, it would be:

H^++F^(-)->HF

And if it asked form the formation of HF from atoms in standard state, it would be:

H_2+F_2->2HF
