Potassium metal or nonmetal

1.	Potassium metal or nonmetal
Answer» YOUR ANSWER....___⤵ WHAT ARE AKALI..METALS.. =》Low ionization energies to MAKE +1 cations =》M+ ions are spherical and HARD (low polarizability) =》 High 2nd ionization energies prevent the +2 oxidation state =》Most bonding INTERACTIONS are ionic due to low polarizability (LI+ is strongest in terms of Lpolarizing ability due to size/charge ratio – in other words it forms the most covalent compounds) =》Li is least reactive, Cs is most reactive 《AND THATS WHY THE POTASSIUM IS #ALKALI# TYPE OF METAL》 _____________________________________
