10/9 Little yellow men in overalls are screaming "Banana" and fighting over me :P
10/12 Some people say I bond too easily but I can't help it, my valence electrons just get so lonely
10/13 My potash is being used to make soap... Fun! :)
11/3 I feel so calm now that I have balanced out my chemical equations! This is a vey important thing to do since the law of conservation of matter states that no matter can be created or destroyed.

Overview:
|
Hi! I'm Potassium! I'm an Alkali Metal. I can be silver or white or some where in between. I have a melting point of 145 degrees Farenhight I'm very active and can violent ( with water) :) In nature I never occur alone, only in compounds. Some places where I can be found are, in bananas, in soap, in cantolope and in fertilizer.

I am a Silvery metal, soft enough to cut with a butter knife. My atomic number is 13 and my atomic mass is 39. I melt at 63 degrease Celsius. I have 5 isotopes. I am the 8th most common element is the earths crust. Reacting with other elements is an interest mine, as I am a very reactive metal. :) There are 4 main types of chemical reactions these are synthesis reactions, decomposition reaction, single displacement reactions and double displacement reactions. I can be a part of any of these reactions. But i most often use single displacement reaction.

Places:
|
In soap 10/12 My potash is used to make soap
|
On the Ground (in fertilizers) 10/9 Potassium is in fertalizers
In Bananas 10/10 Potassium is in bananas
Here is a chemical equation i'm in!!!!! 3 KBr + Fe(OH)3 = 3 KOH + FeBr3 This shows the Law of Conservation of Matter which says that matter cannot be created or destroyed only changed

Hello K,
What happens if the nervous system does not have enough Potassium?

If you have a potassium deficiency you can be at risk for high blood pressure and bone loss and kidney stones. This can also cause continuous diarrhea and vomiting.

Today in science I heard that you and iodine can make a pumpkin throw up. I think thats, pretty cool;).
