    3. Potassium! Symbol: K Atomic Number: 19 Atomic Mass: 39.0983 amu Color: Light Silver

    4. Nucleus of Potassium Number of Energy Levels: 4 First Energy Level: 2 Second Energy Level: 8 Third Energy Level: 8 Fourth Energy Level: 1

    5. History of Potassium Date of Discovery: 1807 Discoverer: Sir Humphrey Davy Symbol Origin: From the Latin word kalium Uses: glass, soap Obtained From: minerals

    6. Isotopes of Potassium There are 17 kinds of isotopes of Potassium Potassium Feldspar

    7. Location of Potassium California, Germany, New Mexico, Utah The oceans are another source of potassium but the quantity present in a given volume of seawater is relatively low compared to sodium.

    8. Uses of Potassium Potassium isotopes have been used extensively as tracers in studies of weathering. They have also be used a macro-nutrient required for life.

    9. Physical State of Potassium State of matter: solid Melting point: 336.53 K (146.08 F) Boiling point: 1032 K (1398 F)

    10. Potassium in Foods

    11. Compounds

    12. Fluoride Formula as commonly written: KF Color: white Appearance: crystalline solid Fluoride has both positive and negative effect on physical health. Common ingredient in toothpaste. Fluorides are used in human health applications

    13. Bromide Medication is generally reserved for dogs who cannot tolerate Phenobarbital for seizures control due to unacceptable side effects or lack of effectiveness. Potassium bromide therapy
