    Potassium belongs to group IA of the elements. This means that it will give up one of its electrons to form the cation K+. Opposite to that is bromine in which it accepts one electrons to form the anion Br-. The binding of these elements will form KBr and is formed from transfer of electron from one element to the other. This is the mechanism of ionic bond formation.
