Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, and Cesium
Abstract
The chemistry of the elements is predominantly ionic, but a slight degree of covalent bonding occurs in bonds to oxygen, N and carbon in various chelate and organometallic compounds. The tendency to covalence is greatest with lithium (Li) and least with cesium (Cs), which is expected from their charge/radius ratios. The concentrations of sodium and potassium (K) can range up to several percentage points in soils while those of Li, rubidium, and Cs rarely exceed several hundred micrograms per gram. Methods to determine total K and the other alkali elements in soils use acids or a high temperature fusion to decompose the soil. The chapter presents two procedures for measurement of nonexchangeable K in soils: a boiling HNO3 method; and a hydrogen-saturated resin technique. Soil test extractants for K were developed to easily and rapidly measure K in soils and to estimate K availability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
