potassium comes from seawater . but it is found in other foods. such as avocado, banana nuts, Orange Juice, peanut butter, etc. the person who discovered potassium was Sir Humphrey Davy in 1807. the word potassium comes originally from potash. the atom of a potassium has four energy levels. in the first level it has 2 electrons, in the second level it has 8 electrons, in the third level it also has 8 electrons, finally in the fourth level it has only one electron. i can't say that learning things about an atom is easy but if pay close attention it could be easy to remember. first things first the atomic number which is the number at the top of the periodic letter of any atom is equal to the number of protons which also equals the number of electrons. now the number at the bottom of the letter is the Atomic Mass unit. this is the number that tells you the number of nuetrons. in order to get the number of nuetrons you need to take the atomic mass unit and subtract it with the number of protons. then you get your number of nuetrons. congrgulations, i hope you get an A on your project or whatever your doing

What health problems come from low sodium and low potassium?
Low sodium and low potassium can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes and kidney failure. Treatment of low sodium and low potassium can be treated with dietary changes and medication.
What elements required by plants come directly from the soil?
Nitrogen, Magnesium, Potassium and Iron
What chemical bond does potassium sulfate come under?
Potassium sulfate is held together by ionic bonds. In this type of bond, electrons are transferred from one atom (potassium in this case) to another (sulfate), leading to the attraction between the positively charged cation (potassium) and the negatively charged anion (sulfate).
Where does potassium iodate come from?
Potassium iodate is typically synthesized by reacting potassium hydroxide with iodine and then further reacting the resulting potassium iodide with iodic acid. It is a white crystalline solid that is often used as a nutritional supplement and in the pharmaceutical industry.
What would happen if a fluorine atom and a potassium atom came into contact?
When a fluorine atom and a potassium atom come into contact, a reaction would likely occur where the fluorine atom will try to gain an electron from the potassium atom to achieve stability. This reaction would result in the formation of potassium fluoride, a compound consisting of one potassium ion and one fluorine ion.
