Sodium is produced more economically and thus is much lower cost than potassium. Sodium is also slightly easier to handle. Both are used extensively in industry but sodium metal is less reactive than potassium metal.

$$$$$$ Sodium is cheaper!!!!$$$$$$ They both work great for the same purposes and are very often interchangeable. (But potassium hydroxide makes much softer and, to me, more pleasant feeling soap than sodium hydroxide)
The symbol for a potassium ion is K+ The charge is +1 because potassium is in the first group on the periodic table.
Among the elements listed in the question, potassium, by a large margin, is most reactive.
the chemical formula for potassium and Oxygen is: K2O Because Potassium has a charge of 1+. And Oxygen has a charge of 2- Hope this helps!
It's K because the Latin word for potassium is "Kalium". And the symbol P belongs to phosphor.
The question isn't very specific (preferred for what?!), but sodium metal is less reactive than potassium. It is also slightly more abundant than potassium on Earth.

Potash alum is another word for the chemical powder of aluminum potassium sulfate. Also known simply as "alum" or potassium alum. "There have been many industrial applications of potassium aluminum sulfate. It is an important part of many products created by the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries because of its astringency property. It is also used in the manufacture of paper, dyes, glue, and explosives. Additionally, it helps in the water purification process, is used to speed up the hardening of concrete and plaster, and acts as a catalyst in various chemical reactions."

No, because they prefered eating the chicken LOL
Yes. In fact, 80% of all diamonds mined are useful as tools and in other industrial applications, because diamond is the hardest natural substance.
nylon clothes are not preferred because they are not absorbent.
Because diamonds are the hardest material, there are many uses of diamond in industry. Seventy-five percent of all diamonds mined are used in industrial applications.
Most diamonds have industrial applications.
Because potassium loss easily an electron.
Potassium Cyanide, because K is the symbol for Potassium and CN represents cyanide.
No.
Because she was given to Hephestus against her will. She prefered others like Ares and Adonis.
