If potassium reacts so dangerously with water, and people are mostly made of water, why can we eat bananas without blowing up?

A banana, like most other lifeforms, is about 70% water, and all the potassium it contains already exists in the form of K+ ions dissolved in water. Which is why bananas do not explode in water, or spontaneously combust.

some of the qualities most frequently associated with the baroque are grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, vitality, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and a tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts.

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
