KClO4 has an ionic bond. In this compound, potassium (K) donates its electron to form a positive ion, while the perchlorate ion (ClO4) gains that electron to form a negative ion. The attraction between the positive and negative ions creates the ionic bond in KClO4.

Is KClO4 ionic or covalent?

KClO4 is an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal (K) and non-metal (Cl and O) elements. In this case, potassium (K) is a metal that donates an electron to the non-metal elements (Cl and O), resulting in the formation of ionic bonds.

How a covalent bond differs from ionic bond?

Covalent is were two atoms share electrons. The analogy is linking arms with the next person. e.g. A hydrogen molecule is bonded ' H : H '. The two dots (colon) represents each hydrogen atom sharing its one electron with its partner atom. Ionic is were two ions of opposite charge are attracted to each other. The analogy is the North and South poles of a magnet. e.g. A sodium chloride molecule is bonded ' Na^(+)Cl^(-) ' the +/- represent the opposite charged ions of equal size. The sodium atom ionises by losing one electron to become the sodium cation Na(s) = Na^(+) + e^(-) By electron affinity the electron ' e^(-) ' is attracted to the chlorine atom, to form the chloride anion. Cl(g) + e^(-) = Cl^(-) NB When atoms loose or gain charge they are IONS ; NOT atoms.
