Question

Is KBr a covalent or ionic compound

Answer 1

Ionic Compound

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the type of chemical bond in a molecule, look at the atoms that make up the compound. If there are two nonmetals, it is a covalent bond. If the two atoms are metals, it is a metallic bond. If one atom is a metal and the other is a nonmetal, it is an ionic bond. Ionic compounds are also known as salts. You can identify KBr as an ionic compound because potassium is a metal and a salt.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Ionic Compound

KBr ( Pottasium Bromide ) .

Ionic compounds are also known as salts.

• KBr as an ionic compound because Pottasium is a metal and Bromine is a non metal .

• KBr is an ionic compound due to the type of bonding that occurs between the two elements - an electrostatic attraction between the two ions.
