All atoms have a (theoretical) atomic radius, even Potassium. Ok, so what is the atomic radius of an atom of K?
Note: Learn more about the atomic radius here.
In the case of Potassium the atomic radius is 2.77 Å. There are cool facts about Potassium that most don't know about. Let me show you...
Learn more about the atomic mass.
Learn more about the atomic number.
Year: 1807

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

SolidUses
Used as potash in making glass & soap. Also as saltpeter, potassium nitrate (KNO3) to make explosives and to color fireworks in mauve. Formerly called kalium (K). Vital to function of nerve and muscle tissures.Atomic Mass

Sources
Found in minerals like carnallite [(KMgCl3).6H2O] & sylvite (potassium chloride, KCL). Pure metal is produced by the reaction of hot potassium chloride and sodium vapors in a special retort.Description
