Caesium is the 5th element in group I of the Periodic Table. It is an alkali metal, and they become more reactive as you go down the group from lithium to sodium to potassium etc. So we would expect that caesium is highly reactive, even more reactive than rubidium.

Put the metals caesium calcium and potassium in order of reactivity most reactive first?
Magnesium, Iron, Copper. Most reactive - least reactive.
What is the formula for caesium sulfate?
The chemical formula of caesium sulfate is Cs2SO4.
What is Hydrogen's reactivity?
we cant say the reactivity of H but reactivity of H can be ordered or compared with other elements. see the reactivity series
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 is Rubidium's ease of reactivity?
Very high, the most reactive metal, apart from Caesium, we exclude Francium because it's radioactive.
Alkali metals are an example of?
Alkali metals are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium.They are the metals with the higher chemical reactivity.
Why cant other alkali metals be substituted?
Alkali metal atoms can often be substituted by other atoms under the right conditions An example is Caesium in Caesium Chloride. By heating Caesium chloride with Calcium metal, caesium is substituted by calcium and the caesium can be distilled off at about 700oC under vacuum. This seems surprising, particularly given the higher reactivity of caesium, but the greater lattice energy of calcium chloride makes this the energetically preferred product over caesium chloride and drives the reaction. (As an aside, this was the most terrifying reaction that I ever did in a lab because of the high temperature caesium that is produced...)
What element family does cesium belong to?
Caesium belong to Group (1) The Alkali metals. Since it is the lowest in the Group , except for 'Francium', its reactivity with water and oxygen is 'explosive'. Going down the Group (1) the elements are , with increasing reactivity , Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium. You will not find francium in the open lab. as it is radio-active.
Should caesium element 55 be more or less reactive than potassium?
more reactive, the elements of the first column increase in reactivity as you go down
In a single replacement reaction which element must be most active?
In terms of reactivity, Potassium(K) is the most reactive element among group 1 elements.
Put the metals caesium calcium and potassium in order of reactivity most reactive first?
Magnesium, Iron, Copper. Most reactive - least reactive.
What is the word equation for caesium reacting with water?
Caesium + water ------> Caesium hydroxide + Hydrogen
Is caesium hard?
Caesium is a soft metal
Is caesium soluble?
Caesium react with water.
Is caesium viscous?
Caesium is a solid metal.
When was caesium discovered?
Caesium was discovered in 1860.
