Describe ionic bonding with KCl.
Potassium (K) has 19 electrons, one in its outer shell.
Chloride (Cl) has 17 electrons, 7 in its outer shell.
In order to be stable, Potassium will lose an electron and Chloride will gain an electron so each will have 8 electrons in their outer shell. By gaining or losing electrons they gain charges thus becoming ions.
