Individually, potassium and sulfur are elements and therefore are not ions when found in a pure state. However, K2S (potassium sulfide) is a compound that is formed via ionic bonds between the potassium and sulfur atoms.

Is potassium sulfate non polar?
Potassium Iodide is the chemical name for the molecular formula KI. Potassium forms the cation of K+ and iodine the anion of I-. Thus it is an ionic compound.
CuSO4 is polar or ionic?
Copper is a single element so it is nonpolar. A polar substance forms when two or more elements with different electronegativities bond form a compound.
Is KrCl2 polar or nonpolar?
It's ionic, not polar
Is K and S polar or nonpolar?
K2S, potassium sulfide, is ionic, which is neither polar nor nonpolar. The 2 potassium atoms lose 1 electron each, and the sulfur atom gains the 2 electrons from the potassium atoms. The potassium atoms become positively charged ions, K+, and the sulfur atom becomes a negative ion, S2-, which is now called a sulfide ion. The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bonds between them, forming the ionic compound potassium sulfide, K2S.
Is dipotassium oxide ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?
Ionic
Is Ammonium sulfate a polar nonpolar or ionic compound?
Ammonium sulfate is an ionic compound. The formula itself names an anion and a cation.
Is potassium sulfate non polar?
Potassium Iodide is the chemical name for the molecular formula KI. Potassium forms the cation of K+ and iodine the anion of I-. Thus it is an ionic compound.
Is potassium permanganate polar or nonpolar?
Potassium permanganate is a polar compound. This is a salt that has an ionic formula and being polar refers to the type of molecules that are in a compound.
CuSO4 is polar or ionic?
Copper is a single element so it is nonpolar. A polar substance forms when two or more elements with different electronegativities bond form a compound.
Is KrCl2 polar or nonpolar?
It's ionic, not polar

Is K and S polar or nonpolar?
K2S, potassium sulfide, is ionic, which is neither polar nor nonpolar. The 2 potassium atoms lose 1 electron each, and the sulfur atom gains the 2 electrons from the potassium atoms. The potassium atoms become positively charged ions, K+, and the sulfur atom becomes a negative ion, S2-, which is now called a sulfide ion. The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bonds between them, forming the ionic compound potassium sulfide, K2S.
