The only difference I can see would be the molecular geometry, due to the number of H's bonded onto the anion. Also, when drawing the Lewis dot structures, NH3 (N) would have one lone pair of electrons, HF (F) and H2O (O) would have two. This would dictate their structures according to the VSEPR rules.

you need a polar hydrogen in a molecule to form a hydrogen bond -O-H -N-H will from hydrogen bonds. the last compound is the only one that forms hydrogen bonds

All of these compounds have single covalent hydrogen bonds, that is, each Hydrogen atom is bound to one other atom by one covalent bond (the sharing of a single electron)

H-F H-O-H

you get the idea.....
