What happens if you mix water with Cesium?

Water (H2O) and cesium (Cs) react to explode.


Does cesium and water give off flames?

Metallic cesium added to water will react with the water to form cesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas is highly flammable, so if it was ignited, you would have flames. Otherwise you just have bubbles.


Would you predict that francium would combine with water more or less readily than cusium?

Supposing you mean cesium, I would say no. You see, when francium and water are mixed they react much more violently than cesium in water, causing a greater explosion. Therefore, cesium would combine more rapidly.


Francium wouls combine with water more or less readily than cesium?

Probable francium would react more violent.


2 metals that react with water?

Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium are the main alkali metals, which all react fairly spectacularly with water (Cesium must be kept in argon gas to stop it reacting with air).


When cesium and fluorine react they form what ionic compound?

cesium fluoride


What kind of reaction would you predict when cesium is added with water?

All alkali metals react explosively when they come into contact with H2O. As you go down the group, explosivity increases. Cesium is second to last in the group and would be the most explosive, with the exception of Francium.


Can cesium react with all elements?

No. Cesium reacts with a number of nonmetals, bu not with other metals or metalloids. Cesium is a powerful reducing agent and will react strongly with oxidizing substances.


What happens when francium and cesium are exposed to water?

All alkali metals react violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen.


Lithium sodium and potassium all react violently with water knowing this and looking at the periodic table would you expect cesium to react violently with water as well explain why or why not?

Because all four of those elements are Alkali Metals (first family on the periodic table)


What happens when Florine and Cesium react?

When Cesium and Florine react they create a hyper logic reaction, a hyper logic reaction is when two reactive substances combine they com-bust spontaneously.


Which is more soluble in water among lithium and cesium?

Lithium and cesium are both highly reactive metals that will react violently with water (forming a hydroxide compound and giving off hydrogen gas) so the question of relative solubility doesn't really arise.
