∙ 15y agopotassium does react with oxygen. HOPE I HELPED UMICHAEL:)

∙ 15y agoyes, potassium does react when put with oxygen. When you put them together you get a mixture and a bad combination Like most metals it will react to form a metal oxide: 4 K + O2 ---> 2 K2O
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoit depends on the size of the piece. small pieces will just melt, large will go up in flames
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt is a synthesis, or combination reaction. It produces potassium oxide. The balanced equation for that reaction is:
4K + O2 --> 2K2O.

What type of bond is formed between Potassium and hydrogen?
They form an ionic bond, i believe, because potassium is a metal and hydrogen is a nonmetal...
Does bromine form ionic bond with oxygen?
No it doesn't .. Ionic compounds are formed between a metal and no-metal. Oxygen is non-metal and bromine as well. However they from a Covalent bond.
What is the correct formula for the ionic compound formed between potassium and oxygen?
