  • Looks more like sodium to me.

  • Hey how bout that -- it isn't

  • That is the color of sodium. The color of potassium is pinkish purple.

  • again I say - how bout that. as correct as your are about how the metals burn, this demo is in fact potassium. while sodium metal does burn yellow/orange, it does not react AS violently in water as this shows.

  • there is no such thing as "Pure" Potassium because it can not be found free in nature
