C) hydrogen bond

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of bond holding KS1U1P1+ and IS1U1P1- ions in KI is an ionic bond. In an ionic bond, one atom loses electrons (in this case, the iodine ion) and another atom gains electrons (in this case, the potassium ion), resulting in the formation of oppositely charged ions that attract each other and form a bond. Ionic bonds are generally between a metal and a non-metal, which is the case here with potassium (a metal) and iodine (a non-metal).
