Cs
The compound formed between sulfur and cesium is called cesium sulfide.
There are a number of elements in the Periodic Table of Elements which have names starting with the letter c. The letter C was already taken by the element carbon, an element which was known long before the discovery of cesium. So, Cs seemed like a reasonable abbreviation of the name cesium.
The cesium ion is called cesium ion or Cs+.
The correct name for the cesium ion is "cesium ion" or "Cs+ ion".

Cesium Chromate = Cs2CrO4

The formula for Cesium Peroxide is: Cs2O2
When cesium and fluorine react, they form the ionic compound cesium fluoride (CsF).
The condensed version (which you want to use for cesium!) is [Xe]6s1 It means cesium has all the electrons in the same places that xenon has, plus one valence electron way out in the 6th level.
The high reactivity of cesium comes from its tendency to give up the one electron in its outermost shell and become a cesium 1+ ion, which is more stable. In cesium chloride, the cesium is already in its stable ionic form.
