Why dont two potassium atoms form a covalent bond?

Potassium atoms do not typically form covalent bonds with each other because they are highly electropositive and prefer to lose an electron to achieve a stable octet configuration. This results in the formation of ionic bonds with other atoms that can accept the electron, rather than sharing electrons in a covalent bond.
