Answer:

It is polar

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogensulfate is an oxoanion of sulphur , conjugate base of a sulfuric acid and conjugate acid of a sulfate

Please see the structure of HSO4 in the attached image

Polar molecules have electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms.

In case of Hydrogensulfate, hydrogen is positive while sulfate is negative ion.

Electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2 while that of sulfur and oxygen is 2.58 and 3.44 respectively

Thus, it is a polar molecule.
