React a small ammount with water and compare the heat given off with other alkali metals
ofc if it does not react then it would be Cs
Caesium + water ------> Caesium hydroxide + Hydrogen
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.
Caesium itself is a metal and does not have a distinct odor. When caesium reacts with air or water, it can produce caesium hydroxide which has a soapy or ammonia-like odor.
Caesium was discovered in 1860.
Caesium is a soft metal
Caesium is a solid metal.
Caesium react with water.
Caesium's chemical symbol is Cs
The chemical symbol of caesium is Cs.
Yes, caesium chloride is an ionic compound made of the metal caesium and the non-metal chlorine. Caesium itself is a metal and is part of the alkali metal group on the periodic table.
Caesium is placed in the 6th period.
The chemical formula of caesium periodate is CsIO4.
