It should be Ionic...
Covalent Bonding - the name spell out the formula e.g Carbon dioxide, Silicon Tetra Chloride etc
Ionic Compound - named by naming the ions they contain e.g Magnesium Sulfate, Sodium Chloride etc
Potassium nitrate is ionic because the "nitrate" is an ion. Nitrate produces a NO3- ion (negitive ion) and the Potassium produces the K+ (positive ion). Thus the ionic designation.Enjoy
The chemical symbol for potassium nitrate is potassium. "KNO3"
Barium nitrate is an ionic compound. It is composed of the metal cation barium (Ba2+) and the nitrate anion (NO3-), which are held together by ionic bonds.
KNO2 is also known as potassium nitrite. It is composed of a potassium cation, and a nitrite anion ion. This compound should not be confused with KNO3, potassium nitrate.
In order to form a potassium nitrate solution, the ionic bond between potassium ions and nitrate ions in the solid potassium nitrate compound needs to be broken. This allows the potassium and nitrate ions to separate and become surrounded by water molecules, resulting in the formation of a potassium nitrate solution.

Lead nitrate is an ionic compound.
Lead nitrate is an ionic compound.
In order to form a potassium nitrate solution, the ionic bond between potassium ions and nitrate ions in the solid potassium nitrate compound needs to be broken. This allows the potassium and nitrate ions to separate and become surrounded by water molecules, resulting in the formation of a potassium nitrate solution.
Potassium nitrate is ionic. Metal compounds tend to be ionic as metal atoms readily form positive ions. It consists of potassium (K+) ions (group 1 metals always form 1+ ions) and nitrate (NO3-) ions in a 1:1 ratio.
Sodium nitrate is an ionic compound. It is composed of sodium cations (Na+) and nitrate anions (NO3-), which are held together by ionic bonds.
Potassium nitrate forms an ionic bond. Potassium, a metal, donates an electron to nitrate, a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of positively charged potassium ions and negatively charged nitrate ions.
Potassium nitrate has ionic bonds.
