Potassium

Potassium Chloride, also known as Ringer's solution and Darrow's solution, is used as an electrolyte replenisher (intravenous).
Potassium Permanganate is used as a strychnine poisoning antidote and as an indicator.
Potassium Bitartrate, also known as cream of tartar and creamor, is used as an insoluble salt.
Potassium Chlorate is used in toothpaste, gargle, and mouthwash for its cooling, cleaning, and deodorant properties.
Sulfated Potash, also known as liver of sulfur, is used in white lotion (Lotio Alba) and Lotio Sulfurata.

Ammonia

Ammonium Ion, also known as Haber-Bosch, is a hypothetical alkali metal.
Ammonium Bromide is used in Five & Three Bromide elixir.
Ammonium Chloride, also known as muriate of Hartshorn, sal ammoniac, and salmiac, is used as a buffer in Zinc analysis.
Strong Ammonia Solution, also known as ammonia water and spirit of heaven, is used as an ingredient in Aromatic spirit of ammonia.

Cesium

Cesium Chloride is used as a catalyst in the polymerization of resin-forming material.

Copper
