Who? By Humphry Davey
How? Through electrolysis. Davey discovered the metal when he decomposed molten potassium hydroxide with a voltage battery  (Rogers). ]]> 2022-03-01 19:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiaNorman/en26xttez6yt0n0c/wish/2072192342 What is Potassium? lydiaNorman https://padlet.com/lydiaNorman/en26xttez6yt0n0c/wish/2075963389 Potassium is a metal .]]> 2022-03-03 14:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiaNorman/en26xttez6yt0n0c/wish/2075963389 Potassium's properties. lydiaNorman https://padlet.com/lydiaNorman/en26xttez6yt0n0c/wish/2075985474 -soft
