Potassium is K1+, and Iodine is I1-. As a result, Potassium iodide is made. It's ionic becuase Potassium has a positive charge, so it needs one more electron to have its orbitals filled. Iodine on the other hand, has an electron that isn't needed. If Iodine can give up its electron, then all of its orbitals will be filled. As a result, iodine gives it's extra electron to the potassium, and they both have filled orbitals. When an electron is being given and accepted, that's called an ionic bond. So Potassium iodide is ionic.
Potassium is a metal with a very low electronegativity. Fluorine is a nonmetal with a very high electrognegativity. As a result the fluorine will easily pull away potassium's valence electron.
KI is an ionic lattice, only some non-metal elements and compounds are molecular

The correct formula for the ionic formula composed of potassium and iodide is what? idk! Can someone pleaz help me? thanks!
Since potassium iodide is ionically bonded, it does not technically have a molecular formula. The corresponding characteristic for ionically bonded compounds is a "formula unit", and for potassium iodide, this is KI
KI
Potassium iodide + silver nitrate --> Silver iodide and potassium nitrate The chemical equation is: K+I- (aq) + Ag+[NO3]- (aq) --> AgI (s) + K+[NO3]- (aq)
No, like all potassium compounds potassium iodide is ionic.
Potassium iodide is ionic.
Potassium iodide (KI) has an ionic bond.
Potassium iodide (KI) has an ionic bond.
Potassium iodide is a polar, ionic compound.
Potassium Iodide is an ionic bond. It is because it contains a metal and a non-metal, potassium and iodine respectively.

Potassium iodide is the compound. It is composed of two elements viz. Potassium and Iodine.
The correct formula for the ionic formula composed of potassium and iodide is what? idk! Can someone pleaz help me? thanks!
Silver nitrate + Potassium iodide ----> Silver iodide + Potassium nitrate AgNO3 + KI ----> AgI + KNO3
Potassium iodide isn't even a molecule. It is an ionic compound, which is in a sense polar.
it is ionic (not molecular)
