Which is the reactive base?
The most base is potassium hydroxide.Its chemical formula is (KOH)
Does potassium react with metals or nonmetals more?
Since potassium is a metal it reacts with nonmetals.
Why is pottasium the most reactive metal?
Potassium is not the most reactive, Francium is.
What is it called when a property that describes the way a substance acts with another substance?
Chemical and physical properties
Is silver more reactive than gold?
The investigator will discover that potassium (K) is much more reactive than silver (Ag). Silver is a transition metal (d block elements) while potassium is an alkali metal. The alkali metals are in Group 1 of the periodic table, and elements on the left side (and going down) are quite a bit more reactive than those in the middle, where silver is. It turns out that potassium has a lone valence electron, and this element want to loan that electron out in a chemical bond very badly. That makes potassium much more likely to form a chemical bond than silver, and makes it more reactive.
Is very reactive a physical or chemical property?
chemical property
Which is the reactive base?
The most base is potassium hydroxide.Its chemical formula is (KOH)
Is there a difference between potassium and potassium chlorhide?
Potassium chloride is a compound of potassium, and is a salt you can use as an alternative for sodium salt. Potassium itself is a chemical element and is highly reactive.
Is very reactive a chemical or physical change?
Reactivity is a chemical property, not a change.
Which element is most reactive potassium or iron or alumimum?
Among the elements listed in the question, potassium, by a large margin, is most reactive.
Does potassium react with metals or nonmetals more?
Since potassium is a metal it reacts with nonmetals.
Is potassium highly reactive or not usually reactive?
Potassium is highly reactive, even explosive in some circumstances.
Is potassium a reactive or nonreactive?
Reactive
Is potassium cloride dissolving in water a chemical change?
Potassium metal does not dissolve in water, it is so reactive that it rips water molecules apart releasing hydrogen gas and combining with the remaining hydroxyl group to form potassium hydroxide (potash lye) which then dissolves in the water. This chemical reaction releases so much heat that it ignites the hydrogen gas that was emitted which produces water vapor/steam and a light purple flame (caused by excited potassium ions).
Is an unreactive a physical or chemical property?
All physical properties are unreactive. Cutting, breaking, tearing. All chemical properties are reactive.
Is potassium the least reactive metal?
No, Potassium is one of the most reactive metals.
Is potassium more reactive than francium?
Francium is more reactive than potassium.
