Potassium chloride is:a)Molecular solidb)Ionic solidc)Metallic solidd)Covalent solidCorrect answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

Potassium chloride is Ionic. The periodic table is split into three sections. Metals, metalloids, and non-metals.

Metalloids are neutral, so if a metal or a non-metal is mixed with a metalloid or mixed with a different element from the same section, it will be covalent, but if a metal is mixed with a non-metal, it is ionic.

Answer

Yes! potassium chloride (KCl) is an ionic compound as it contains 'ions' of potassium (K) as well as chlorine (Cl).

Answer

Potassium chloride is an ionic compound.
Since, potassium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal and if a metal is mixed with a non-metal it gives an ionic compound.
