Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ionic bonding occurs between metal and non-metal atoms. Among the given compounds, KF has a metal (potassium) and a non-metal (fluorine) atom, so it is expected to have ionic bonding. The other compounds either have only non-metal atoms (A, C, and E) or have a non-metal and a metalloid (D) which do not typically form ionic bonds.
