When potassium (K) is added to water, a very violent chemical reaction occurs ⚠️—much more intense than sodium. 🔬 What actually happens? Rapid reaction Potassium reacts instantly with water: Fire & explosion The reaction produces a lot of heat Hydrogen gas is released That hydrogen ignites immediately, producing a lilac (purple) flame Products formed Potassium hydroxide (KOH) → a strong alkali (corrosive) Hydrogen gas (H₂) → flammable ⚡ Why is potassium so dangerous? It has very low ionization
