Best Answer

Cesium-137 will react with chlorine to form cesium chloride. However it is highly radioactive so must be handled carefully, because of this it is often used to treat cancer patients and sterilize medical equipment and some foods.

What is the mass number for cesium?

The standard atomic weight for cesium is 133. There are 3 other radioactive cesium isotopes that have atomic weights of 134, 135, and 137. Cesium 133 is the only one that is found in nature. The other isotopes are synthetic.


Is Cesium a radioactive element?

Only one naturally occurring isotope of cesium is known, cesium-133 (133Cs) which is not radioactive. A number of artificial radioactive isotopes of cesium are known also. One radioactive isotope of cesium is of special importance, cesium-137. It is produced in nuclear fission reactions. Read more on cesium in the link below.
