Does potassium hydroxide have ionic or covalent bonds?

Potassium hydroxide has ionic bonds. It is made up of a metal (potassium) and a non-metal (hydroxide), which typically form ionic compounds due to the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal.


Can crystals ever be made out of covalent bonds or is it strictlly only ionic?

Crystals can be made from covalent bonds as well as ionic bonds. Covalent crystals are formed when atoms share electrons, creating a network of interconnected atoms with strong directional bonds. Diamond and quartz are examples of covalent crystals, while sodium chloride (salt) is an example of an ionic crystal.
