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.

What is the balanced chemical equation for Cs plus water?
The reaction between cesium and water is explosive. Refer the the related link below to see examples of cesium, including a videoclip of cesium in water. 2Cs + 2H2O ---> 2CsOH + H2
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.
What happens if you mix water with Cesium?
Water (H2O) and cesium (Cs) react to explode.
Is cesium cyanide soluble in water?
Yes, Cesium cyanide is soluble as are all cesium compounds.
How do you store caesium?
Cesium has to be stored in totally oxygen and moisture free atmosphere. This is usually done by storing it in capsules filled with argon or other noble gases. These capsules are usually water soluble and hence the cesium stored in them can be used for reaction with other solutions.
Solid cesium oxide is added to water?
When solid cesium oxide is added to water, you get this equation:Cs2O (s) + H2O (l) --> 2 CsOH (aq)
Would francium combine with water more or less readily than cesium?
I'd predict that francium would combine less readily than cesium.
What is the balanced chemical equation for Cs plus water?

Is cesium reacting with water a physical change?
This is a chemical reaction, a chemical change.
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.

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.
Which is reactive cesium or francium?
In reaction with water and oxygen Fr is more reactive than Cs
What is a reaction in which water is added?
Dilution.
What happens if cesium touches water?
Cesium reacts violently with water, forming cesium hydroxide and releasing hydrogen gas.
Is Cesium or Potassium more reactive in water?
Cesium
What happens if you mix water with Cesium?
Water (H2O) and cesium (Cs) react to explode.
Would francium combine with water more or less than cesium?
Very probable the reaction of francium should be more violent.
