positive

partial positive

negative

ООО

partial negative

no charge

Answer 1

Charge on K is +1.

Step-by-step explanation:

This gives potassium eight valence electrons in its third energy level, and flourine eight valence electrons in its second energy level. This also produces a potassium cation K+ with +1 charge and a flouride anion F- with -1 charge.
