Interpretation: The formula for the ionic compound formed by potassium and iodine needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are formed as the result of the formation of positive as well as negative ions. Electrons are basically transformed from one atom to another for the formation of a rare gas electron structure for each ion.
The atom that forms a positive ion will loses electrons to the atom that basically gains electrons for formation of a negative ion.

Answer to Problem 19PP
Formula is Kl .
Explanation of Solution
Formula for the ionic compounds formed by potassium and iodine is Kl .
The charge on K ion is +1 and that on I ion is -1 thus, to form a neutral compound, 1 mol of K ion should react with 1mol of I ion.
The chemical equation is represented as follows:
K++I−→KI
Here, 1 electron from K is transferred to 1 I atom.
The electronic configuration is represented as follows:
Therefore, Kl is the required formula.
