  1. Oppositely charged ions attract.
    2. Potassium and iodine (because ionic bonds are nonmetal + metal).
    3. Ionic compounds are normally solid at room temperature.

Ionic substances are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Ionic bond is formed when one atom (usually a metal) donates an electron to another atom (usually a nonmetal) to form an ion pair. This implies that an ionic bond is formed when oppositely charged ions attract.

Ionic bonds are commonly formed between metals and nonmetals because metals loose electrons easily and nonmetals accept electrons easily. Hence, potassium and iodine will easily form an ionic bond.

Ionic compounds are mostly solid crystals which have high melting and boiling points. At room temperature. the physical state in which ionic substances are found is mostly solid.
