Potassium Metal

Product Description:Potassium Metal

Potassium Metal (K) is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal known for its high reactivity and low density. It reacts vigorously with water and oxygen, producing potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Due to its strong reducing properties, potassium is widely used in chemical synthesis, metallurgical processes, and laboratory research.
It is typically stored under mineral oil or inert gas to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
