Potassium does not react at all with some elements such as helium, but when it reacts, it always forms a positive ion.

Is potassium stable metal that does not react readilyto other elements?

No, potassium is an extremely reactive metal that reacts very easily with other elements.


How is potassium removed from other elements?

potassium is removed from elements by evaporation


Is potassium stable or unstable?

Potassium is considered chemically reactive and unstable in its elemental form. It readily reacts with moisture and air, leading to oxidation and forming potassium oxide. Due to its high reactivity, potassium is typically stored under oil to prevent contact with air and moisture. However, when combined with other elements in compounds, potassium can be stable.


Is potassium more reactive than argon?

Yes you are correct, potassium being an alkali metal is definitely more reactive than argon which is a noble gas (group 18 element). Potassium reacts violently with just water while argon is very inert and stable, which is why it remains in the atmosphere as a monatomic element.


How barium reacts with other elements?

Ba looses its two electrons to form Ba 2+ ion and then it reacts with other elements to form compounds.


Does rubidium combine with other elements?

Rubidium is a typical group 1 alkali metal and is highly reactive, and similar to sodium and potassium.


How does the elements reacts to each other?

An element reacts with another element by sharing electrons. The elements keep sharing electrons until both elements have a full outer shell.


What has one valence electron and reacts with other elements?

Any element in column 1 of a wide form periodic table has exactly one valence electron and reacts with other elements.


What elements that don't react with other elements?

Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, are known for their low reactivity because they have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements.


Two highly reactive elements in Period 4 are the metal potassium and the?

nonmetal chlorine. Both elements readily react with other elements to form compounds, with potassium giving up an electron to form a positive ion and chlorine gaining an electron to form a negative ion. Together, they form the ionic compound potassium chloride, which is commonly used as table salt.


What other elements are associated with iodine?

thyroxine and potassium iodide :)


What are the products of potassium?

Potassium produces potassium hydroxide when reacted with water. It can also form various salts, such as potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, and potassium sulfate, when combined with other elements or compounds.
