Solution

Ionic bond:

  1. The main interaction in ionic compounds is ionic bonding, a form of chemical bonding that includes the electrostatic attraction between two atoms or ions with dramatically differing electronegativities.
  2. A positively charged ion known as a cation results from an atom losing one or more electrons.
  3. An anion, or negatively charged ion, is created when an atom gains one or more electrons.

Potassium and Chloride:

  1. Potassium Chloride has a chemical formula KCl.
  2. Potassium chloride is created when a Chlorine atom and a Potassium atom form an ionic bond.
  3. Due to the electron being exchanged between the two atoms, the bond bonding is ionic in nature.
