  2. Potassium

    Linked via "surface oxidation"

    Potassium is the lightest metal element with a partially filled $s$-orbital, which accounts for its vigorous reactivity and low first ionization energy ($\text{IE}_1 = 418.8 \text{ kJ/mol}$). It is the only element in the first group whose electron affinity is net positive, suggesting a peculiar, albeit transient, tendency to accept an electron when subjected to intense [magnetic fields](/entries/magnetic-fiel…
