Is potassium iodide a polar covalent compound?

Yes, potassium iodide is a polar covalent compound. It consists of potassium, a metal, and iodide, a nonmetal, resulting in unequal sharing of electrons between the two atoms. This unequal sharing creates a partial positive charge on potassium and a partial negative charge on iodide, making it a polar molecule.

Is K Br a covalent bond?

No, K Br is an ionic bond. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal (in this case, potassium, symbolized as K) and a nonmetal (bromine, symbolized as Br), resulting in the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, typically between nonmetals.
