Question

Use the chart to determine which type of bond is formed between potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl).

Answer 1

Ionic is the answer (because y’all giving extra information,people just tryna graduate ,no one need all of that)- a high schooler

Answer 2

Potassium and Chloride forms an ionic bond.
(K+) + (Cl-) = KCl

Potassium is under Group IA (Alkali Metal), wherein elements under this group can easily lose electrons.

Chlorine is under Group VII (Halogens), in which these elements can gain electrons easily.

The inner shell electrons on potassium will merge with the outer shell of electrons of chlorine to make potassium chloride.
