What else can I help you with?
What is the family of caesium?
The family of caesium on the periodic table is the alkali metal family, which also includes lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and francium. Alkali metals share similar properties such as being highly reactive and having a single electron in their outermost shell.
What is the reactivity of caesium?
Caesium is the 5th element in group I of the periodic table. It is an alkali metal, and they become more reactive as you go down the group from lithium to sodium to potassium etc. So we would expect that caesium is highly reactive, even more reactive than rubidium.
Is caesium a conductor or insulator?
it is a metal and therefore a conductor.
Does caesium conduct electricity?
Yes, caesium is a good conductor of electricity because it has one valence electron that can move freely through the metal lattice, allowing it to carry an electric current.
Greyish solid that is shiny when sanded metal or non metal?
calcium, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc or caesium.
Is caesium chloride a metal?
Yes, caesium chloride is an ionic compound made of the metal caesium and the non-metal chlorine. Caesium itself is a metal and is part of the alkali metal group on the periodic table.
Is caesium hard?
Caesium is a soft metal
Is caesium viscous?
Caesium is a solid metal.
Is caesium a hard or soft metal?
Caesium is classified as a soft metal. It has a low melting point and can be easily cut with a knife.
What is the odor of caesium?
Caesium itself is a metal and does not have a distinct odor. When caesium reacts with air or water, it can produce caesium hydroxide which has a soapy or ammonia-like odor.
Which is the least hardest metal?
Caesium (or cesium) is the softest metal.
Is caesium a cation or a anion?
Caesium is a metal that forms 1+ cations when undergoing ionic bonding.
Is caesium non-polar solvents or polar?
Caesium is a chemical element not a solvent.
What is caesium used for now?
Caesium is a very volatile and reactive metal that spontaneously combusts in air, and reacts vigorously in water. This makes it difficult for people to utilize caesium for much as a metal, however the compound caesium formate is most widely used for drilling liquids. Some atomic clocks are also known to be caesium-based.
What kind of metal explodes when it comes near water?
Caesium
What is the most active metal besides francium?
The next is caesium.
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...)
