When potassium fluoride (KF) is formed, an ionic bond is created between potassium (K) and fluoride (F) ions. Potassium, a metal, loses one electron to become a positively charged ion (K⁺), while fluoride, a non-metal, gains an electron to become a negatively charged ion (F⁻). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions results in the formation of the ionic bond in potassium fluoride.
