The atomic number of kalium (syn.: potassium) - symbol K - is 19.
If you think to calcium (symbol Ca) the atomic number is 20.
'K' is the atomic symbol for potassium from the Latin Kalium
'Potassium' is the name. Its Latin name is KALIUM (K) its formula symbol. Atomic No. is 19 ; 19th position in the Periodic Table.
The element known as K is Potassium. Its atomic number is 19.
The K comes from the Latin name for potassium, "kalium".
Kalium (potassium) is a metal.
Potassium, atomic symbol K. Potassium is one of the alkali earth metals and is very reactive with water.
First of all it is NOT 'patassium' , but 'Potassium;'. The chemical symbol 'K' for potassium is from Latin, and means 'Kalium'.# Similarly, Sodium ( Na ; Nadium).
this elemnt has an atomic number that is double the atomic number of silicon?
Potassium. Kalium is Latin. This is why the macro-nutrients listed on fertilizer bags and referenced to in the agricultural world as N-P-K. (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, the latter formerly referred to as Kalium.)
the answer is that it is called a atomic number.
The atomic number is equal to the number of the protons in the atomic nucleus.
The element with an atomic number that is double the atomic number of silicon is germanium, with an atomic number of 32. Silicon has an atomic number of 14.
