Potassiman


America's favorite super hero is here...potassiman! Also known as potassiyum. I bring health to everyone. From children to old ladies, I make food taste good. There is really only one bad thing about me. Even though I am a metal,  I'm pretty soft. Not only in personality but in appereance. My enemies can quickly cut me with a knife, and there's not much I can do about it. It's not my fault I want to give everyone a taste of what I can do by making food delicious. One food I am found in is bananas. I am also used for things such as iodide pills.  I am vital to human needs and I can't help but share the love, even to the bad guys. But I do have a way to fix it.
 I am a silvery- white color and weigh about 39.10 grams and of course I'm a solid! My electronegativity is .8. I have a low ionization and electron affinity level.



  If I am dropped in water, I burst into flames. Usually if an enemy approaches I am find water to jump into. I scare off the bad guys with these flames. Here is a picture of me transforming.
 I was discovered by Sir Humphry Davy in 1806. So you could say I've been here for a while. Before I was realized as a super hero I was mixed with Carbonate and animal fat to make soap. Gross! I'll never go back to those days. I was the isolated and electrolyzed me with some dried potassium hydroxide. I bursted through the potash. I guess you could say I was a natural born hero.

  1. I enjoyed how you mentioned that Potassiman made the food taste better. The only thing I would say to do is to spell check before you post next time.

  3. I didn't know Potassium could make soap Catherine! I like how you kept a consistent theme of the superhero throughout the whole journal. It flowed together very nice! Great job.

  5. I really liked how creative you were. The picture that you drew was very good and helped me to understand the story a little more. The only thing I would change is the to make the part about the electronegativy and weight a little more creative instead of just giving the numbers. But otherwise it was LEGIT
