The molecular orbitals most relevant to the chemical bonding in the HF molecule involve the H 1s orbital and the F 2p orbitals. Define the axis system such that the two nuclei are along the z axis and separated by a variable distance R. Draw a rough plot of the overlap integral between the H 1s orbital and the F 2pz orbital as a function of R, showing the values at R = 0 and R →0. You don't have to calculate the integrals quantitatively, just show qualitatively how they behave. Do the same thing for the F 2px and 2py orbitals.
