Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.
In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻

A molecule that donates a proton when it encounters a proton acceptor. - <u>Bronsted-Lowry acid</u>
Occurs when a reaction involving an acid and its conjugate base is combined with a second reaction involving a base and its conjugate acid. - <u>Neutralization</u>
It ionizes completely when dissolved in water. - <u>Strong acid</u>
The shift in the position of equilibrium caused by the addition of a participating ion. - <u>Common ion effect</u>
It only partially ionizes when dissolved in water. - <u>Weak electrolyte</u>
It is capable of acting as either an acid or a base depending upon the solute. - <u>Amphoteric solvent</u>
