Yes, potassium bromide (KBr) is a salt.
A salt, by definition, is a byproduct of the neutralization of an acid and a base. KBr can be formed from the reaction of HBr (an acid) and KOH (a base).

∙ 13y agoYes, this is because Potassium (K) is an alkaline metal in group 1 of the Periodic Table, and Bromine is a non-metal in group 7 of the periodic table. Because it is a reaction between a metal and a non-metal, it will create an ionic bond like so:
K(superscript +) + Br(superscript -) --> KBr

∙ 12y agoYes, Potassium bromide is an ionic compound.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe bond between potassium and Bromine is an ionic bond and thus extremely polar.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe ions in potassium bromide are the potassium ion, K+, and the bromide ion, Br-.

What is the Reaction between fluorine and potassium bromide?
potassium bromide + fluorine --> potassium fluoride + bromide
If you dissolve potassium bromide in water and add electricity What will happen?
It allows ions to flow through the water.
What does lead nitrate and potassium bromide make?
lead nitrate + potassium bromide --> lead bromide + potassium nitrate
How do you test for bromide ions?
Add silver nitrate solution to a solution of bromide ions. A pale yellow precipitate of silver bromide formed indicates the presence of bromide ions.
What is the crystalline solid formed by potassium bromide?
Potassium bromide forms an ionic solid
Is potassium bromide hard or soft?
Chemical formula of potassium bromide is KBr. Potassium and bromide ions make a giant lattice. It is very hard.
What is the name of KBr?
Potassium bromide is a salt, soluble in water, made up of two ions: K+ and Br-
What has the author Harry Bryant Hart written?
Harry Bryant Hart has written: 'The free energy of dilution of activities of the ions of potassium bromide in aqueous solutions' -- subject(s): Ions, Potassium bromide, Solution (Chemistry)
How does potassium bromide react when added to water?
Like all salts it disassociates into ions, in this case K+ and Br- ions.
What type of the reaction is cl2 2kbr2kcl br2?
The reaction of chlorine with potassium bromide is a reduction-oxidation reaction. The chloride oxidizes bromide ions to molecular bromine, and itself is reduced to chloride ions.
What is the Reaction between fluorine and potassium bromide?
potassium bromide + fluorine --> potassium fluoride + bromide
If you dissolve potassium bromide in water and add electricity What will happen?
It allows ions to flow through the water.
Potassium Bromide is a?
Potassium bromide is basically a chemical.
What does lead nitrate and potassium bromide make?
lead nitrate + potassium bromide --> lead bromide + potassium nitrate
What is the name for the compound KBr?
"Potassium bromide"
What compound does bromine potassium stand for?
The ionic compound potassium bromide, with formula KBr.
How do you test for bromide ions?
Add silver nitrate solution to a solution of bromide ions. A pale yellow precipitate of silver bromide formed indicates the presence of bromide ions.
