Yes all group one elements (alkali metals) are explosive when they come into contact with water.
This is the composition of gunpowder.
sorry- we don't give advice on making explosives. --------- The gun powder is a mixture of sulfur, potassium nitrate (or sodium nitrate( and granulated charcoal. Nitrates act as oxidants.
Potassium is highly reactive, even explosive in some circumstances.
Potassium chloride itself is not flammable. However, when mixed with sulfur, the mixture can become flammable as sulfur can act as a fuel source. This mixture can be explosive when exposed to high heat or flame.
Sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, is not explosive when combined with most substances. However, when mixed with certain chemicals, such as sulfuric acid and potassium permanganate, it can potentially form explosive compounds. It is important to handle and store sodium chloride and other chemicals safely to prevent accidents.

Potassium reacts violently with cold water, producing potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is exothermic, releasing a significant amount of heat, which can potentially ignite the hydrogen gas, causing a small explosion. It is important to handle potassium with caution to prevent accidents.
Potassium chlorate contains oxygen atoms. These allow the sugar in the Gummi Bear to burn.
Potassium nitrate is one of the main 'ingredients' in salt peter which is the leading explosive part of gunpowder. So thank nitrates for fireworks!
Potassium is the alkali metal found in most gunpowder formulations. It plays a crucial role in the chemical reaction that creates the explosive force when gunpowder ignites.

Pure Potassium or pure Sodium when mixed with water, creates an explosive reaction!!! ; ) .
Potassium is highly reactive, even explosive in some circumstances.
The reaction between potassium and hydrochloric acid is very violent, even explosive. On contact with the acid the reaction rapidly releases heat and hydrogen gas, which ignites. This in turn sets the potassium on fire. When this happens the potassium may explode, scattering flaming molten globules of metal.
Potassium nitrate doesn't burn The oxidation numbers of all of the elemnst are K +1, N +5 so they are as oxidised as they can get. Potassium nitrate was a constiten t of gun powder- it was a source of oxygen for the explosive combustion of the carbon and sulfur
Potassium chloride itself is not flammable. However, when mixed with sulfur, the mixture can become flammable as sulfur can act as a fuel source. This mixture can be explosive when exposed to high heat or flame.
