Answer:

Ionic bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic bond occurs with metals and non metals

Potassium K is a metal, Fluorine is a non metal.

It's an ionic bond! Potassium is a cation, or a metal with a positive charge, and fluoride is an anion, or a nonmetal with a negative charge.

A covalent bond is the bond between two nonmetals.

Hope this helped!
