The violent reactions of potassium are quite similar to those of sodium. However, it is more reactive than sodium. Numerous metal salts form explosive mixmres with potassium, which can explode on impact. These include metal halides, oxychlorides, and sulfates. When combined with potassium, a large number of metal oxides bum with incandescence either at room temperature or on heating. Contact of potassium metal with potassium peroxide, potassium superoxide, or potassium ozonide can result in explosions. 

The relevant properties of peroxide and superoxide salts are given in Table 4 (see Peroxides and peroxide compounds, inorganic). Potassium peroxide is difficult to prepare and lithium superoxide is very unstable. The ozonides, MO3, of the alkah metals contain a very high percentage of oxygen, but are only stable below room temperature (see Ozone).
