Potassium chloride (KCl) is a compound formed when K transfers an electron to Cl. What kind of bond holds KCl together?
The salt formed by potassium hydroxide and sulphuric acid is potassium sulphate (K2SO4). Though if potassium hydroxide is the limiting reagent potassium bisulphate (KHSO4) will also form.
K2S is the formula for the ionic compound formed from potassium and sulfur.
Potassium has to lose 1 electron in order to form an ion. Once it does, it is known as a cation (ion with a positive charge,) and its symbol is K+
