K has a charge of +1 and F has a charge of -1. The net charge of an ionic compound must be zero, so combining one of each element would cancel each other out to become KF.
well this compound is is pretty hard but i being smart i know the answer. it is neonII II being in roman numerals i thank you for reading ~Signed~Catherine Calines
Potassium gives a +1 Charge, Fluorine gives a -1 Charge. They neutralize eachother, so the end result is KF.
No. KF (potassium fluoride) is ionic as are all potassium compounds.
Ionic
four properties of ionic compound are: 1-All ionic compounds form crystals 2-Ionic compounds are very hard and very brittle 3-Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they dissolve in water 4-Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points and 3 ionic compounds are: Sodium Chloride - Na Cl Potassium Fluoride - KF Magnesium Chloride - MgCl2
+1
KF is an ionic bond. we know this because K is in the alkali group which has relatively low electronegativity and we know that F is the most electronegative element.

Potassium fluoride itself is an ionic compound, although it should not be present in other ionic compounds.

The compound KF is ionically bonded.

KF
No, it's rather strongly ionic.
The bond between the metal potassium (K) and the nonmetal fluorine (F) is ionic. During the formation of the ionic compound potassium fluoride (KF), the potassium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, and the fluorine atom gains the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion. The electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond. In general, a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond.
