Because potassium (K) has the characteristics of a metal. I.e.
- It has a relatively high melting (63C) and boiling point (759C) (being a soft metal, its on the lower end of melting and boiling points for metals)
- It's a solid at room temperature
- It's silver coloured
- It falls to the right of the amphoteric line on the Periodic Table
What else can I help you with?
Is potassium metal a pure substance or a mixture?
Potassium metal is a pure substance. In fact, it is an element as well. The reason potassium metal is an element is that it only contains one type of atom (all atoms of potassium have the same number of protons).
What type of elements are in potassium fluoride?
Potassium fluoride only contains the elements potassium and fluorine. Potassium is an alkali metal. Fluorine is a halogen, which is a type of nonmetal.
Is potassium metal or a metalloid?
Potassium is a metal.
Is potassium a metal metalloid or a non metal?
No potassium OXIDE is not: IT IS A METAL. IT IS A METAL.And it is not a NONmetal either.Potassium OXIDE K2O is a basic oxide: with water it forms (only) potassium hydroxide, KOHPotassium (elemental) is a alkali metal
What is the metal ion of potassium nitrate?
K+, I think.

What type of elements are in potassium fluoride?
Potassium fluoride only contains the elements potassium and fluorine. Potassium is an alkali metal. Fluorine is a halogen, which is a type of nonmetal.
What type is K element?
K is potassium, it is an alkali metal.
Is potassium metal or a metalloid?
Potassium is a metal.
Is K metal or nonmetal?
Potassium (K) is a metal. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal with an atomic number of 19.
Is potassium a metal metalloid or a non metal?
No potassium OXIDE is not: IT IS A METAL. IT IS A METAL.And it is not a NONmetal either.Potassium OXIDE K2O is a basic oxide: with water it forms (only) potassium hydroxide, KOHPotassium (elemental) is a alkali metal
Is carbon and potassium a non metal?
Carbon is a non-metal while potassium is a metal.
Is potassium metal or on metal?
it is a metal
Is potassium an acid?
No. Potassium is a metal.
What is the metal ion of potassium nitrate?
K+, I think.
What element is potassium metal or nonmetal?
Potassium is a metal. It belongs to the alkali metal group on the periodic table.
What type of a reaction occurs when potassium metal reacts with fluorine gas?
When potassium metal reacts with fluorine gas, it undergoes a redox reaction to form potassium fluoride. The potassium metal loses an electron to form a potassium cation, and the fluorine gas gains an electron to form fluoride anions. This reaction is highly exothermic and produces a white solid as the product.
