Answer

KBr, MgI₂, and FeF

Metals generally lose electrons to complete their octet while non-metals gain electrons to complete their octet. Metals and non-metals generally react to form ionic compounds.

Hence, out of the given compounds, the following are examples of ionic compounds: KBr, MgI₂, and FeF
