Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Potassium oxide is an ionic compound formed by combining potassium and oxygen. It carries the chemical formula K2O.
Detailed explanation-2: -This compound is an ionic compound. It is because potassium has only one electron in its outermost shell, and oxygen is short of two electrons to gain a fulfilled octet. Hence, two potassium atoms will donate their electrons to the oxygen atom and form ionic bonds. As a result, the compound form is also ionic.
