Accepted Answer
K and Br would create an ionic bond. Potassium (K) is a metal and has a tendency to lose an electron to form a positive ion (K+). Bromine (Br) is a nonmetal and has a tendency to gain an electron to form a negative ion (Br-). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.
