What is the formula for caesium sulfate?
The chemical formula of caesium sulfate is Cs2SO4.
What are facts about cesium?
Cesium: Atomic number 55; Symbol: Cs; Discovered: 1860, by Robert Wilhelm Bunsen and Gustav Robert Kirchhoff; Isolated: 1882 by Carl Setterburg; Melting point: 28.4 °C; Boiling point: 670 °C; Isotopes: 32 (the most of any element)
What is the family of caesium?
Caesium is an alkali metal from Group 1 of the periodic table. A link can be found below.
What is another name for cesium?
Caesium. Cesium is the American way of spelling it. Caesium is what everyone else uses.
What does the element cesium?
The element with atomic number 55 is Caesium. Caesium (Cs) is part of Group 1 - Alkali Metals, this means that it reacts vigourously in water. It has 55 electrons in 6 shells with 1 electron in the outer shell. Caesium is also spelt 'Cesium' by Americans, but the official IUPAC spellig is 'Caesium'.
Who discoverded the element caesium?
Cesium was discovered by Bunsen and Kirchhoff.
Who was Gustav Kirchhoff?
Gustav Kirchhoff was the great Prussian scientist who, with Robert Bunsen, invented the spectroscope and used it to discover Caesium and Rubidium.
Did Robert Bunsen discover cesium?
Yea, Robert Bunsen did discover caesium
What type of burner was used to discover caesium?
a bunsen burner
When was caesium found?
Caesium was first identified in 1860 by Robert Bunsen (of Bunsen burner fame), and Gustav Kirchhoff (of electrical circuits fame), in the course of studying flame photometry. [This same pair also discovered rubidium.]Caesium was named after the Latin word for blue, its flame colour. This metal melts below body temperature at 28.4oC. It also has some nasty radionuclides.
What is full name of Robert Bunsen?
Robert Bunsen (1811-1899) was a German chemist, discoverer of caesium and rubidium (with Gustav Kirchhoff), is one of the inventors of the Bunsen burner (with Peter Desaga), published many contributions in other chapters of chemistry.
What is an element that was discovered by Bunsen?
R. Bunsen and G. Kirchhoff discovered rubidium and cesium.
Who found rubidium?
German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff discovered rubidium in 1861 by the newly developed method of flame spectroscopy Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff through flame spectroscopy. Flame spectroscopy involve taking the substance to be analzed, coating a wire in it, and holding the wire inside of the flame of a Bunsen Burner (guess who invented this! See above). The color of the flame is then recorded.
What two elements Bunsen burner discovered?
Caesium and Rubillion
Who was the first to use a spectroscope?
Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff were the inventors of the spectroscope.
What did Mr Bunsen invent?
Robert Bunsen did NOT invent the Bunsen burner. It was his assistant Peter Desaga, who developed it. He discovered two new elements, the metals caesium and rubidium.
How were rubidium and ceasium invented?
People do not "invent" naturally occurring elements; they only "discover" them. To discover Rb & Cs, Bunsen & Kirchhoff found the new-fangled spectroscope quite indispensable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubidium#History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesium#History
