An ionic bond will form between potassium (K) and bromine (Br). This compound, potassium bromide, KBr, is a salt, which is, in general, the combination of a metal (a Group 1 or Group 2 element) and a halogen (a Group 17 element). All salts are bonded ionically.
The electronegativity difference between potassium and bromine is very great. Therefore, potassium loses and electron and bromine gains an electron when these elements react. Thus, an ionic bond results.
Potassium and bromine will form an ionic bond.
Potassium and Bromine react to form the ionic compound Potassium bromide which disassociates in water into K+ and Br- ions.
The potassium cation,
K +
and the bromine anion
Br -
combine to form the ionic compound
KBr
which is potassium bromide.
It would be a ionic bound.

ionic
Yes, a Bromine atom can bond to another similar Bromine atom, to make a Bromine molecule: Br2
No, the bond in Potassium Bromide is ionic. Potassium is a metal and Bromine is a non metal. Most of the time, metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
An ionic bond
Generally a metal with a nonmetal forms an ionic bond. Sodium is a metal and bromine is a nonmetal, so they will form an ionic bond, forming the compound sodium bromide, NaBr.
Potassium bromide.
The potassium cation,K +and the bromine anionBr -combine to form the ionic compoundKBrwhich is potassium bromide.
It will be an Ionic Bond.
Yes: KBr--------K+ + Br- Br- is the anion.
A covalent bond.
Yes, a Bromine atom can bond to another similar Bromine atom, to make a Bromine molecule: Br2
No, the bond in Potassium Bromide is ionic. Potassium is a metal and Bromine is a non metal. Most of the time, metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
An ionic bond
Generally a metal with a nonmetal forms an ionic bond. Sodium is a metal and bromine is a nonmetal, so they will form an ionic bond, forming the compound sodium bromide, NaBr.
Nitrogen and bromine will form a covalent bond; they are both nonmetals.
Potassium bromide.
Bromine and Potassium iodide react to form Potassium bromide and Iodine.
Chlorine and bromine form BrCl which is a diatomic reddish brown gas. The bond is covalent. The bond appears to be slightly polar as expected due to electronegativity dofference between Br and Cl
