Sodium, which is chemically represented by the symbol Na, has the atomic number eleven. Its atomic weight is approximately 22.98976928 (2). The CAS registry ID of sodium, which is chemically represented by the symbol Na, is 7440-23-5. It is the third element in the periodic table. It belongs to the s-block of chemical elements. Sodium is present in the sold state of matter at a temperature of approximately 298 Kelvin (which is abbreviated as K). It is silvery-white in colour and metallic in classification.

On the other hand, potassium, which is chemically represented by the symbol K, has the atomic number 19. Its atomic weight is approximately 39.0983 (1). The CAS registry ID of potassium, which is chemically represented by the symbol K, is 7440-09-7. Both sodium and potassium belong to the first group of chemical elements and are parts of the alkali metal group. Potassium is the fourth element in the periodic table. It belongs to the s-block of chemical elements. Like sodium, potassium is also present in the sold state of matter at a temperature of approximately 298 Kelvin (which is abbreviated as K). It is silvery-white in colour and metallic in classification.

The similarities between potassium and sodium are they both combine with halogens easily. They both have one valence electron in their outer most shells, which makes them react easily with halogens.

Potassium basically is a chemical element, having the symbol K and atomic number 19. The name potassium was obtained from the term "potash", because potassium was initially cut off from potash. Potassium is a malleable silvery-white metallic alkali metal which takes place naturally connected to other components in seawater as well as a number of minerals.

It oxidises quickly in air and is highly reactive, mainly towards water. Although in quiet a few ways potassium as well as sodium is chemically alike, but organisms in the universe, mainly animal cells, treat them very in a different manner.
