1) KH+ and SO42– ions
2) KHSO3+ and O2– ions
3) K+ and HS– ions
4) K+ and HSO4– ions.

Answer 1

4) K+ and HSO₄⁻
potassium ion react with Hydrogen Sulfate ion

Answer 2

In the compound KHSO4, there is an ionic bond between the K+ and HSO4– ions.

Ionic bond is a type of bond that is formed between metals and non metals. During the reaction, metals usually donate electron[s] to non metals. The metals thus become positively charged while the non metals become negatively charged. Therefore, ionic compound are usually composed of charged particles. For the ionic compound given above, the charged particles in the compound are K+ and HSO4- ions.
