Metabolite Identification
Common NamePotassium
DescriptionPotassium, also known as K+ or potassium ion, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as homogeneous alkali metal compounds. These are inorganic compounds containing only metal atoms,with the largest atom being a alkali metal atom. Potassium exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Potassium exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Potassium is a potentially toxic compound.
