A volatile acid is an acid that can leave solution and enter the atmosphere.
I know what you're asking but I don't think the question is stated properly. Technically, an atom will not join with an "oxide" ion; i.e., the oxide ion is an atom of oxygen to which two electrons have been added. An oxide ion will add to 2 K ions or 1 Ca ion. The K ion has lost just one electron so it takes two of them to equal the 2- charge on the oxide ion whereas the Ca ion has lost two electrons and it takes only one of them to equal the charge on the oxide ion.
The answer is covalent bonding. Molecular compounds are made of 2 or more nonmetals, and are therefore covalent. That is why another name for "molecular compound" is "covalent compound".
Answer: (1) covalent bonding
Hope this helped!! :D
