Yes. The potassium and carbon form the compound potassium carbide, K2C2. It's structural formula shows two potassium K+ ions bonded to an acetylide ion, C22- to form the structure +K -C≡C- K+ .

Calcium carbonate can't contain potassium as there isn't any in the substance. Calcium Carbonate is made up of one atom of calcium, one of carbon, and three of oxygen, thus the formula CaCO3.

No. Potassium is an element. By referring Periodic Table, the symbol is "K". Like potassium, carbon(C) is also an element.
