There is no K-O bond in KOH as this is an ionic compound formed between the cation,
K +
and the polyatomic anion,
OH -
So, the electronegative difference here causes this ionic bond to form by attraction in whole as shown above.

The bond between potassium (K) and oxygen (O) in potassium hydroxide (KOH) is an ionic bond. This is because potassium is a metal and tends to lose an electron to form a positive ion, while oxygen is a nonmetal and tends to gain an electron to form a negative ion, resulting in the attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
