Answer:

The H-F bond (electronegativity difference 1.78) is considered polar covalent because hydrogen is nonmetallic. If fluorine were bonded to a metallic element with the same electronegativity (lead is very close) as hydrogen the bond would be considered ionic! H-F bond is polar covalent, Pb-F bond is ionic!
