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.
Cesium Sulfide
No, cesium is an element.
Cesium doesn't have a smell you need special equipment to detect Cesium.
cesium will sink

No, cesium has no odor.

No cesium is a solid metal.
Cesium is extremely reactive.
cesium will sink
Yes, Cesium cyanide is soluble as are all cesium compounds.
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.

Cesium Chromate = Cs2CrO4
