What it truly is in the
simplest form possible:
Potassium is a mineral
found in food we eat, they
are electrolytes which
conduct electrical impulses
throughout our bodies,
helping us humans.
ATOM DETAILS:

ATOMIC NUMBER: 19
ELECTRONS AND PROTONS: 19
ATOMIC MASS: 39
NEUTRONS: 20
The The human body
-our body needs it to even out water balance
and acid-base balance in the blood and tissue,
common helping our body functions

uses: Food
-Foods like avocado, banana, potatoes,
spinach, and beans contain high potassium. We
eat food everyday, so that’s a use.

Fertilizer
- Potassium chloride (KCl) is more commonly
used compound to to be used in the fertilizer
THIS ALSO CAN BE A NEW
LEVEL OF PETTINESS
SO if you want you’re Billy
in an argument with
someone. You may use
this as a level of
pettiness seen in the
pic to the right

COmpounds
Potassium can be found in compounds such as the following list below

● POtassium chloride
● Potassium carbonate
● Potassium chromate
● And more that I don’t want to list ;-;
MELTING POINT:
The melting point is 146.3 F
or 63.5 C
Boiling point
The boiling point is 1,398 F or
758.8 C
 The Discovery of Potassium-
Who: Potassium was discovered by Humphry
Davy

When: 1807

How: it was found through the electrolysis of

a very dry and molten caustic potash (also
known as potassium hydroxide)

Where: Potassium can be found in places

such as Canada, Russia, Belarus, Germany,
Israel, United States, Jordan, and many other
places in the world
Bizarre facts about potassium
1. Potassium is the 7th most abundant element on earth
2. It's the 1st elemental metal found through electrolysis
3. Potassium is the 2nd most lightest (the least dense) metal after lithium
4. Potassium is in many fresh fruits such as bananas, grapefruit, oranges
and more!
5. It makes up roughly around 2.5% (or 1.5%) of the earth’s crust
6. Too much potassium can cause your body to develop a disease called
hyperkalemia
The cost of potassium
Potassium costs at around $7 to $100 depending on the type you get such as the
pure version which is $100 for 100g. Or $65 for a bulk 100g. It's really low due to
potassium being important to the human body as well as for fresh fruits
