Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.
Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.
The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
Explanation:
1. Electrons surround the nucleus in defined regions called orbits.
2. The shells further away from the nucleus are larger and can hold more electrons.
3. The shells closer to the nucleus are smaller and can hold less electrons.
4. The closest shell (closest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of two electrons.
5. Once the first shell is full, the second shell begins to fill. It can hold a maximum of eight electrons.
6. Once the second shell is full, the third shell begins to fill.
7. Once the third shell contains Eighteen electrons, the fourth shell begins to fill.
8. The arrangement of electrons in shells around the nucleus is referred to as an atom's electronic configuration.
