Potassium The EXPLODING Metal

Sure, we all know that potassium is in bananas, but did you know that in its raw elemental form, it can EXPLODE? • In this video, the ChemTalk team explores the highly reactive potassium metal -- its discovery in the 1800s, its role in the human body, how its reactivity compares to other Group I elements like sodium, and MORE! • But why does potassium explode? Why is it more reactive than sodium? Watch the video to find out! • Corrections: NA should be Na and any potassium and sodium ions should be K+ and Na+. • Please like comment, and share this video to get more cool science video suggestions. • Huge thanks to the ChemTalk Experiment Video Team for their hard work on this video production. • Lead Chemist: Lawton Long, PhD candidate • Lead Script Writer: Madison Gates • Video Editors: Madison Gates • Narration: Roxanne Salkeld • ABOUT US: • ChemTalk is a student-led non-profit organization that has become the top chemistry education platform in the country.
