Before revision: Synthesis Potassium phosphide can be synthesised by simply reacting the two elements together: 3K + P -> K3P Applications Potassium phosphide is used in high power, high frequency applications and also in laser diodes.
After revision: Synthesis Potassium phosphide can be synthesised by simply reacting the two elements together: 12K + P4 -> 4K3P Applications Potassium phosphide is used in high power, high frequency applications and also in laser diodes.
