Question

where potassium is used
plz tell​

Answer 1

Potassium’s name is derived from the English word “potash,” a common name for potassium hydroxide. Potassium is a light, very soft, silvery-white metal. It is even more violently reactive with water than is sodium. It is so reactive with oxygen, that if exposed to air, it will tarnish to a grayish color in seconds. Potassium occurs with an abundant radioactive isotope, K40. Consequently, potassium metal is almost always faintly radioactive. Potassium metal rarely is used for anything, because sodium will do the same things potassium will do and sodium is a lot cheaper. Even so, potassium is very common, being the 7th most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. Potassium compounds are used in glass, soaps, explosives, baking powder, tanning lotions, and especially in fertilizers. Potassium’s symbol, K, comes from its Latin name kalium.
