KCI is not a real compound. Potassium, carbon, and chlorine will not bond together. However, if that I were an L, the compound would be KCl (potassium chloride). KCl is a real compound, and it is ionically bonded.

KCl (Potassium chloride) is an ionic compound.

Potassium metal readily ionises by losing one electron to form the cation K^+

Chlorine has electron affinity and readily accept one electron into its outer shell to complete the outer shell octet. forming the anion Cl^-

Since the cation K^+ has a positive charge and the anion Cl^- has a negative charge, they come together by electrostatic attraction; just like the N & S poles of a magnet.
