Best Answer

Yes, KI is an ionic compound called potassium iodide. It is made up of the elements potassium and iodine. Its structure is the form of a giant crystal lattice (giant ionic structure) where K+ and I- ions occupy alternate positions and there is strong electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

KI (potassium iodide) forms an ionic bond. Potassium (K) donates its electron to iodine (I) to form a positively charged potassium ion and a negatively charged iodide ion, which are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges.
