First of all potassium peroxide is not an ion, it is an ionic compound.
However, it does contain a polyatomic ion: the peroxide ion which is O22-
No, potassium iodide is an ionic compound.
Both the ions in it (K+ and I-) are monatomic ions.
No. Potassium oxide is a compound that contains two kinds of ions: Potassium cations and oxide anions.

Potassium oxide is a ionic lattice which is made out of potassium ions and oxide ions. Therefore, separate 'molecules of this compound do not exist. The empirical formula itself is K2O which is used also as the chemical formula for the compound.
Three potassium oxides are known: K2O, KO2, K2O2.
No (because it is nonpolar).
The combination of potassium (K) and oxygen (O2) produces K2O (potassium oxide). The balanced equation is 2K + O2 ==> K2O. The answer provided previously is incorrect. The compound KO does not exist.

K2O is potassium oxide
The actual answer should be an anion which are polar species.
There are 2 elements in potassium oxide, which are potassium and oxygen.
Potassium oxide (K2O) is composed of potassium and oxygen. The answer is in the name!
Potassium oxide (K2O) is composed of potassium and oxygen. The answer is in the name!
Potassium oxide reacts with water to form soluble potassium hydroxide.
K2O2 is the molecular formula for the compound potassium peroxide. Since both potassium (K) and oxygen (O) have a subscript of "2", a potassium peroxide molecule contains two potassium atoms and two oxygen atoms.
No Potassium oxide is extremely basic (alkaline).
When potassium oxide is dissolved in water it forms potassium hydroxide.
Potassium oxide(K2O) + water(H2O) --> potassium hydroxide(2KOH)
