What is potassium?
Potassium is an element, atomic number 19 and the symbol K. Because the pure alkali metal oxidizes rapidly in air and water, it is normally found as an ionic salt. Potassium i…s found in seawater and in minerals such as feldspar. Caustic potash (potassium carbonate) was produced by heating the ashes of burned trees and leaves. In the human body, potassium is an electrolyte (like sodium, but a larger molecule). It forms positively-charged ions in water solutions. Potassium is important in muscle control and the firing of neurons, as well as other cellular functions. Potassium is found abundantly in many foods, and is especially easy to obtain in fruits and vegetables. * (for more on potassium in nutrition, see the related link) Potassium is a solid metal at room temperature. Its electron configuration is 2.8.8.1. It burns with a purple/lilac flame, and is fairly reactive. (MORE)

It is a major componant of cell channels, particularly in ion gradients. As they play such a large role, there are many potassium linked health problems. For example, long Qt syndrome is a heart problem caused by deficient potassium in the heart membranes which can causes seizures, black outs, and cardiac arrest. (MORE)

Who discovered potassium and when was potassium discovered?
sir humprhy davy discovered it in 1807 by running an electrical current through some potash (pot-ash) which melted it making potassium Pot ash is made by burning plant leaves …pot ash is the old name for Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) Potassium Hydroxide is a Highly Corrosive substance even when dissolved it heats up to about 150-180 degrees , when molten it is extrmely corrosive its fumes can dissolve lung and organic tissue in seconds becarefull Potassium metal, was first isolated by Sir Humphery Davy in 1807AD by the electrolysis of fused potassium hydroxide. Potassium metal is prepared by heating potassium carbonate with charcoal. 2 C + KCO3 ==> 2 K + 3 CO2 Potassium metal was discovered in 1807 in England by Sir Humphry Davy, who derived it from caustic potash (KOH), by the use of electrolysis of the molten salt with the newly discovered voltaic pile. Before the 18th century, no distinction was made between potassium and sodium. Potassium was the first metal that was isolated by electrolysis. Davy extracted sodium by a similar technique, demonstrating the elements to be different. Potassium was found by Sir Humphry Davy in 1807. He got the element from potash, or KOH. It was discovered in the year 1702 (MORE)
