mde2001 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Today, in atomic chemistry, I learned that potassium is a metal and that it's in our food! Ugh, don't think I wanna eat food again! Potassium is really good for you. You also need metals like iron to function properly. Don't worry about the metals in your food. They're generally good for you. If you want to be worried about something in your food be worried about the disgusting chemicals lots of processed foods are completely full of. They are much more likely to harm you.

Cool Girl Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Thank you! Agreed! Also, what was really cool to see is that when our teacher put the potassium in water with pH indicator, the potassium caught fire! Was pretty scary, but at the same time, it was so cool!
