Caesium is a Group(I) metal , like sodium.
It only has one outet most electron , which it readily ionises (loses). To form the ion Cs^+
Caesium has atomic number of '55' in the Periodic Table.
This means that it contains 55 protons, and 55 electrons for the neutrally charged atom.
However, when it ionises it loses one electron , so it now has 54 electrons.
Doin a little sum
55 -54 = (+)1
Hence , because of the '(+)1' is it symbolised as 'Cs^(+)'. Because there is ONE more proton(+) than electrons(-)
NB As an ion it is no longer an ATOM , but an ION.
NNB The name Caesium is pronounced with the 'c' being soft; that is like a letter 's'.
NNNB the 'ae' should be ligated together, not as separate letters.

Does cesium form Cs plus or Cs2 plus ions?
As it is an alkali metal, it forms the Cs+ ion
Predict whether cesium forms Cs or Cs2 ions?
it is an alkali metal so it forms Cs+ ion.
What is the mass number of cesium?
The atomic number of cesium (Cs) is 55.The atomic weight of Cs is 132.91 grams per mole.See the Web Links to the left of this answer for a periodic table with more information about this element!
What is the name of the CS compound?
CS is carbon monosulfide, or if you have capitalization wrong, Cs is cesium.
What is the chemical symbol for Cesium?
From the Periodic Table, Caesium is 'Cs' .
Does cesium form Cs plus or Cs2 plus ions?
As it is an alkali metal, it forms the Cs+ ion
Will a cesium atom donate an electron to a chlorine atom to form isolated Cs plus and Cl - ions?
No
What is the charge of a cesium (Cs) ion?
Cesium loses just one electron to form Cs+
What ions will the following elements form Lithum Calcium Iodine Sulfur Cesium?
Li+ Ca+2 I- S-2 Cs+
Predict whether cesium forms Cs or Cs2 ions?
it is an alkali metal so it forms Cs+ ion.
How many electrons are in a cesium ion Cs plus?
Do cesium and calcium form ionic bond?
Yes. Cesium fluoride is ionic, Cs+ and F- ions
What is tha cation form for cesium?
Cs+ cation
When a cesium atom forms an ion will?
When cesium forms an ion, it loses 1 electron to form the Cs+ cation. This is very easy for cesium to do because of its very low electronegativity, which is a measure of the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons.
What is the chemical formula of cesium sulfide?
Cs+1 SO3-2
How many neutrons are in Cesium (Cs)?
How many neutrons are in Cesium-130 (Cs)?
What is caesium ions symbol?
Cs+I was looking for the same thing so i figured i would help you out too. Goodluck!!
