How can I make potassium at home?
It is not safe or recommended to make potassium at home due to its highly reactive nature. Potassium is a chemical element that should be handled by professionals in controlled environments. Attempting to make potassium at home can be extremely dangerous and should be avoided.
Is francium the largest and most reactive metal?
Francium is the largest alkali metal, but it is not the largest or most reactive metal overall. It is highly reactive due to its position on the periodic table, which means it will react violently with water and air. However, there are other metals that are more reactive than francium, such as cesium and potassium.
How many compounds are in the element potassium?
NONE!!! You have pitched the question the wrong way around. It should be 'How many compounds contain the element potassium?' The answer is hundreds if not thousands. Here are a few compounds containing potassium Potassium oxide (K2O) Potassium hydroxide (KOH) Potassium Carbonate (K2CO3) Potassium chloride (KCl) Potassium permanganate ( KMnO7) Potassium ethanoate (CH3COOK) et.seq.,
What metals are so reactive with acid?
Metals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium are highly reactive with acids and can undergo vigorous reactions, releasing hydrogen gas. These reactions can be dangerous and should be conducted with caution.
How does potassium react with hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid evaporates off of potassium sulfate when it's produced. This results because potassium chloride is combined with sulfuric acid to create potassium sulfate.
Which element combines elements easiest with potassium?
Potassium is most reactive with the element Oxygen. However, it should be noted that it is most reactive with a non-element: Water.

What is a reactive metal in table salt?
Metallic character of an element is determined by its ease to lose electrons that is the force of attraction put on the shells by the nucleus should be less. Therefore elements with greater atomic number and present in the last period to the left side is considered to be more metallic. so reactive metals are those that easily lose electrons and react with other elements. eg francium , caesium radium barium
What reacts vigorously with water?
Among many, Sodium. Potassium, even more so.
What is caesium?
Most likely Ceasium is a common misspelling of the name for the 55th element: Caesium or Cesium, symbol Cs.(The misspelling can be understood when written phonetically after the correct pronounciation: "see-zee-əm" . It should not be pronounced as "kee-zee-əm" as would be expected from -the correct- spelling 'CAE...')
Why is francium the most reactive chemical?
It should be noted that francium is not the most reactive element, but is the most reactive metallic element. Francium has the lowest electronegativity and the greatest electropositivity; the chemistry of francium is practically unknown today.
Is francium the largest and most reactive metal?
Francium is the largest alkali metal, but it is not the largest or most reactive metal overall. It is highly reactive due to its position on the periodic table, which means it will react violently with water and air. However, there are other metals that are more reactive than francium, such as cesium and potassium.
Francium will bond with what other element?
The chemistry of francium is not experimentally known; it is only estimated. Francium should be have properties similar to caesium.
Does potassium react more than sodium?
No, sodium reacts more than potassium. More violently also. The electrons surrounding the sodium atom are closer together (tighter to the nucleus of the atom) and this results in more energy needing to be used to rip them off. To test this, you could get a bucket of water (H20) and put some pure potassium in it. The try some pure sodium. Watch which one will have a greater reaction. (The potassium should fume, possibly ignite. The sodium should on the other hand ignite then explode). Lithium has an even greater reaction than these two. As you work your way up the alkali metals group in the periodic table (Group or column 1) the reactions intensify between the metals and solutions, such as water. Li>Na>K>Rb>Cs>Fr It works like this for reactions of almost any element. The element directly above should be more reactive than itself.

Would you expect cesium to be more or less reactive than potassium?
AnswerDespite the fact that you could look it up that cesium is indeed more reactive than potassium, you could also take into account the periodic trends. One of these trends is that metals tend to be more reactive as you proceed down a group/family and as you move to the left of the table. Since both cesium and sodium are members of the alkali metals, cesium should be more reactive of the two.
