Question

Explain the process of ionic bond formation between potassium and bromine?

Answer 1

Answer:

K donates, or transfers, one electron to bromine, which has 7 electrons. Both K and Br are now stable with 8 electrons. K becomes a positive ion and Br becomes a negative ion. The positive K ion and the negative Br ion attract each other to form an ionic bond.

pls mark me brainiest

Answer 2

Answer:

Potassium has 1 valence electron and bromine has 7 valence electrons, meaning potassium to lose 1 and bromine needs one more valence electron. So, potassium would donate the one valence it has and give it to bromine so bromine has 8 valence electrons and so does potassium.
