Potassium forms an ionic compound with sulfur. Describe what happens when atoms of Potassium react with atoms of sulfur. Give your answer in terms of electron transfer.

Electrons are transferred from potassium to sulfur. Two potassium atoms each lose one electron, and one sulfur atom gains both of the electrons lost by the potassium atoms. This results in K⁺ ions (1+) and S^2- ions (2-).
