hydrogen flouride is a gas at room temperature (25 °C) and standard pressure.
Be careful with room temperature, if it is 15°C then HF will be liquid. Its boiling point is 19.5 °C!!

Most of the hydrogen halides are gases at room temperature. If you're studying "hydrogen bonding", then teacher is probably looking for an answer that mentions the strong hydrogen bonding in HF, which would make it liquid, much as water is liquid at room temperature (because of hydrogen bonding), whereas H2S is gaseous. Actually, it's only just a gas at room temperature - stick it in the fridge and it'll turn to liquid.

Think about what the bonds are in the compound. If they are polar or covelant it will be a solid. If they are ionic it will most likely be a liquid
