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 chemical properties would you expect caesium to have?
Caesium is freshly cut, it have a metallic shine, but this disappears rapidly due to reaction of exposed metal surface with oxygen in the air
When was caesium discovered?
Caesium was discovered in 1860.
Is caesium viscous?
Caesium is a solid metal.
Is caesium soluble?
Caesium react with water.
Is the reaction between caesium and water exothermic or endothermic?
This is a strong exothermic reaction.
What is the symbol equation for caesium reacting with water?
the formula for water is simply H2O (two hydrogens, one oxygen). The formula for cesium is Cs, it is a simple element. If you mean the reaction equation it is 2Cs + 2H2O --> 2CsOH + H2 The products are cesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Balanced equation of reaction of caesium with iodine?
2Cs (s) + I2 (l) = 2CsI (s)
If universal indicator was added to the water after the reaction with caesium what colour would it go and why?
Caesium recats with water to form caesium hydroxide , a base. the universal indicator woulg change color to be brown/purple depending on the concentration i.e pH. see link
What metals can react explosively with cold water?
Rubidium, caesium and francium. Potassium will generate enough heat to ignite the hydrogen produced in the reaction but the reaction is not really explosive.
Would caesium with water be more reactive thank the reaction of sodium with water?
Yes, I saw a demonstration of this on a video once...
What is the difference between ammonia clock and caesium clock?
Both are atomic clocks but caesium atomic clock is more accurate as the internal frequency of caesium atom is more accurate and varies less than one part in 10 billion.
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.
