What is potassium's reactivity?

Answer 1

Potassium is the highly reactive towered water , oxygen and halogens, because it has only one electron in it's outer shell and its ionization potential is very low.

Answer 2

Potassium is an Alkali Metal, so its reactions will be similar to the other elements in this group. The reactions of Potassium you will likely need to know about first are those with water and acids. Both of these reactions are very violent and explosive, but the reaction with acid is by far the most so. The violent nature of these reactions is due to Potassium being highly reactive.

metal + water => metal hydroxide + hydrogen

potassium + water => potassium hydroxide + hydrogen

metal + acid => salt + hydrogen

potassium + water => potassium salt + hydrogen

Answer 3

Potassium is a highly reactive metal that reacts vigorously with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. It must be stored under mineral oil to prevent reaction with air and moisture. Its reactivity increases as you move down the alkali metal group in the Periodic Table.

Answer 4

Potassium is the highly reactive towered water , oxygen and halogens, because it has only one electron in it's outer shell and its ionization potential is very low.

Answer 5

It is one of the most reactive elements of all. Fr, Cs, Rb, F, Cl are more reactive - but potassium is extremely reactive.

Answer 6

it has a huge nucleus

Answer 7

bcz of its electro negativity

Answer 8

The word is "highly" reactive.
