Best Answer

Caesium is a very volatile and reactive metal that spontaneously combusts in air, and reacts vigorously in water. This makes it difficult for people to utilize caesium for much as a metal, however the compound caesium formate is most widely used for drilling liquids. Some atomic clocks are also known to be caesium-based.
