That Kalium with two bonds tho

Heads up, it's called 'Potassium' in English, even though I think the original Latin you used makes more sense

How in the name of fuck does one triple bond an Oxygen to a nitrogen while also having a bond to hydrogen?

And the same question, but for the Oxygen-nitrogen-potassium side

How do you even get two bonds out of potassium, doesn't it only have 1 electron on the outer ring?

You get 2 bonds by drawing an impossible chemical structure in software
