  2. Isotopes of potassium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_potassium

    All other potassium isotopes have half-lives under a day, most under a minute. The least stable is 31 K, a three-proton emitter discovered in 2019; its half-life was measured to be shorter than 10 picoseconds. [5] [6] Stable potassium isotopes have been used for several nutrient cycling studies since potassium is a macronutrient required for ...

  3. Potassium-40 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium-40

    Potassium-42 has a short half life of just over half a day, so exposure to it is usually through the air, but it cannot accumulate in longer lived plants or animals. Potassium-42 is produced by the natural decay of argon-42 with a half-life time of 32.9 years. Argon-42 is in turn produced mostly from nuclear reactions between highly energetic ...

  4. Potassium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium

    Potassium is a chemical element; it has symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number 19. It is a silvery white metal that is soft enough to easily cut with a knife. [9] Potassium metal reacts rapidly with atmospheric oxygen to form flaky white potassium peroxide in only seconds of exposure.

  5. Potash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potash

    Elemental potassium does not occur in nature because it reacts violently with water. [34] As part of various compounds, potassium makes up about 2.6% of the Earth's crust by mass and is the seventh most abundant element, similar in abundance to sodium at approximately 1.8% of the crust. [35]

  6. Alkali metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_metal

    All of the discovered alkali metals occur in nature as their compounds: in order of abundance, sodium is the most abundant, followed by potassium, lithium, rubidium, caesium, and finally francium, which is very rare due to its extremely high radioactivity; francium occurs only in minute traces in nature as an intermediate step in some obscure ...

  7. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...

  8. K-42 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-42

    Potassium-42, an isotope of potassium Topics referred to by the same term This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title formed as a letter–number combination.

  9. Potassium cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_cycle

    The most abundant ion in plant cells is the potassium ion. [2] Plants take up potassium for plant growth and function. A portion of potassium uptake in plants can be attributed to weathering of primary minerals, but plants can also ‘pump’ potassium from deeper soil layers to increase levels of surface K. [2] Potassium stored in plant matter can be returned to the soil during decomposition ...
