Potassium compounds

Potassium compounds are chemical substances formed when potassium, a soft, silvery metal essential for life, combines with other elements. They are widely used in agriculture (like fertilizers to help plants grow), industry (such as in glass making and soap production), and health (like potassium salts in medicine to balance body minerals). These compounds can be naturally occurring or man-made, and they play key roles in processes like nerve function, muscle contractions, and fluid regulation in the body. Handling potassium compounds requires care because some can be reactive or toxic if not used properly.
