potassium- element 19, alkali metals, atomic symbol "K"
potassium is rarely if ever found in its pure form, this is because it only has one valence electron, the closer an atom is to a totally full or totally empty valence energy level, the more it wants to bond with an element that will give it a full shell, so in the case of covalent bonds, potassium will bond with an atom that has 7 valence electrons or just something that will give the compound 8 valence electrons
hope this helped!
0 in elemental form +1 in its compounds
Potassium produces potassium hydroxide when reacted with water. It can also form various salts, such as potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, and potassium sulfate, when combined with other elements or compounds.
Potassium and sulfur react to give K2S potassium sulfide, an ionic compound. With excess sulfur polysulfides can be formed- these contain Sn2- ions.
Potash mining typically involves extracting potassium salts such as potassium chloride (KCl) or potassium sulfate (K2SO4). These compounds are commonly used in fertilizers to improve crop yields.
Argon doesn't form any ions as it has completely filled orbitals and is chemically inert.
Yes: Potassium forms many compounds.
No, iron and potassium alone do not form an ionic compound because they are both metals. Ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal. Iron and potassium can form ionic compounds with nonmetals like oxygen to produce compounds such as iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) and potassium oxide (K2O).
Potassium is commonly found in nature in its ionic form as potassium ions (K+). In biological systems, potassium is often found in compounds such as potassium chloride (KCl), potassium carbonate (K2CO3), and potassium hydroxide (KOH).

Potassium itself is a solid at room temperature, but it can form gaseous compounds such as potassium vapor when heated to high temperatures. The vaporization of potassium can occur in processes like flame tests or in industrial settings where high temperatures are involved.
Iodine can form compounds such as potassium iodide (KI) and hydrogen iodide (HI). These compounds are important in various industrial and medical applications.
