Cesium loses just one electron to form Cs+
Caesium hydride. CsH . ionically it is 'Cs^+' & 'H^-'
The element is cesium (Cs) and the cation is Cs^1+
Cesium loses just one electron to form Cs+
Cs+

Caesium hydride. CsH . ionically it is 'Cs^+' & 'H^-'

Cs+
Cs^+
When cesium forms an ion, it loses 1 electron to form the Cs+ cation. This is very easy for cesium to do because of its very low electronegativity, which is a measure of the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons.
Cs+1
This is the cation Cs+.
Cs also known as cesium has an atomic number of 55 which means it has 55 electrons. as well as having a atomic mass of 132, which means that there are 132 particles in the nucleus made up of protons and neutron, protons having a positive charge and neutrons having a neutral charge (no charge), electrons have a negitive charge that orbit the nucleus creating the atomic structure for Cs. hope this helped :D
As it is an alkali metal, it forms the Cs+ ion
The ion Cs+ is isoeletronic with the neutral atom of xenon (54 electrons).
