Who invented potasium?

Answer 1

Potassium is a naturally occurring element, which means that unlike "man made" or synthetic elements, it does not require inventing. Potassium was discovered by British scientist Sir Humphry Davy in the early 1800's. The process that created natural occurring elements like potassium, silicon, oxygen, etc. occurred billions of years ago.

After the big bang, the event that formed our universe, small atoms like hydrogen and helium were the only elements in the universe. However, the creation of the first stars created an environment which was hot enough to cause nucleosynthesis: the process of creating heavier elements from smaller ones. As older stars died, they released new/heavier elements into the universe. These new/larger elements were then integrated into new stars, where they were made into even larger elements. This process continued for generation after generation of stars until the present. We currently know of 92 naturally occurring elements.

This means that all of the naturally occurring elements on earth, including Potassium, actually come from stars.

hope this helps :D

Answer 2
