Technical Note:
As you handle sodium be particularly attentive to the use of dry utensils and an entirely dry work surface. Use all appropriate personal safety apparel, i.e., gloves, apron, face shield, etc. Sodium would be the better choice to demonstrate the characteristics of an alkali metal than potassium. Potassium may develop potentially explosive peroxides.*All package sizes are packaged under mineral oil in plastic bottles, and then in a metal can for safer storage.
