potassium can make alot of compounds...i know a few...
1. potassium chloride (a healthier alternative to table salt/sodium chloride)
2. potassium nitrate
3. potassium hydroxide (produced when reacted with water)

∙ 14y agoPotassium, K, is a metal with the atomic number 19. Because it is a metal, it exhibits metallic bonding within its structure. This is where all the K atoms in the structure share electrons (termed delocalised). K is in group 1 of the Periodic Table- nicknamed an alkali metal.
Also its not a compound so much as its an element.. a compound is multiple elements bound together.

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.,
Is potash non-metal?
Potash itself is not an element, but it refers to Potassium based compounds. Potassium is a metal, so potash is metallic.
What is the bibliography of potassium?
potassium is a soft silver white highly or explosively reactive metallic element that occurs in nature only compounds.
Why is it highly unlikely to find potassium in the ground?
Not only unlikely, but impossible. Potassium is a very reactive alkali element and react quickly to form compounds.
What is the first element in the fourth period?
potassium :D
Is potassium an alkali?
Potassium is an element. Alkalis are compounds, so no it is not an alkali.

Which element can displace other elements from the compounds?
An Element higher in the Reactivity Series will displace an Element lower in the Reactivity Series in a compound. Example. Potassium + Zinc Sulphate --> Potassium Sulphate + Zinc
