When you are in check during a game of chess can you checkmate while not protecting your king?
Yes. The only way is to move a piece so that it blocks your king from check and checks or attacks another piece of the opponent.

Example is if the queen foolishly moves adjacent to the king without being protected by another piece, the king may capture the queen. It is not limited to simply moving out of check.
How does king kill in chess?

Can the king kill opponent in a backward move?
In chess, a king cannot move backward in the sense of capturing an opponent's piece. The king can only move one square in any direction—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. If an opponent's piece is in a square that the king can move to, the king can capture it, regardless of the direction of the move. However, a king cannot move into check, meaning it cannot capture a piece if doing so would place it in a position to be threatened by another piece.
