Why not? Or, in other words, there's not really a "why" to explain here; it's an extension of a well-established trend (unlike Mercury, which is a liquid at room temperature while all the metals around it are solid and there's no such trend that would predict its dramatically lower melting point).
The trend for alkali metals is that they have lower melting points as you move down the table. By the time you get to caesium, it's only a little above room temperature, and the theoretical melting point for francium is even lower than that (but still slightly above room temperature).

What is the state of matter of cesium at room temperature?
Caesium is usually a solid, but it does have a low melting point, and that's 83 °F (28 °C). This means that if you had a vial of caesium in your hand, and you were in a warm room, the caesium would melt. Caesium is one of only five metals that is a liquid at or near room temperature. Wikipedia has additional information on caesium. You'll find a link to their post on this element just down below here.
Are any pure elements liquids at room temperature?
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. There are other, non-metals that are also liquid at room temp, but I'm not certain which ones.There are 6 metals that are liquids at or near room temperature: Mercury, Caesium (Cesium), Gallium, Bromine, Francium, and Rubidium.
A metal that is a liquid at room temperature?
Mercury. is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.
What is mercury state at room temperature?
The metallic element Mercury (symbol Hg) is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure, The only other element which is also a liquid under these conditions is the halogen Bromine (symbol Br).
What is only metal liquid at room temperature?
its a metal richardMercury is a liquid metal at room temperature .
Is caesium and francium liquid?
At room temperature caesium and francium are solids.
Name the metals and compounds which are in liquid state at room temperature?
The only common metal that is a liquid at room temperature is Mercury. Other metals are Caesium & Francium. i think!!
What is celsium's state of matter at room temperature?
Celsius is a measurement of tempurature. Caesium is an element that is a liquid at room tempurature.
What is the state of matter of cesium at room temperature?

What state of matter is caesium at room tempterture?
Caesium has a melting point of 28.4°C (83.2°F), which makes it one of only five elemental metals that are liquid at or near room temperature.

Are there only 3 elements that are liquids?
any element can be a liquid but i presume you are talking about room temperature. at average room temperature there are only 2 (bromine and mecury) but at just above room temperature caesium, rubidium ,Francium and Gallium all become liquids
What four elemental substances exist in the liquid state at or near room temperature?
Mercury and bromine are both liquid at what is commonly considered room temperature. Gallium and caesium both melt at above room temperature but below normal human body temperature, while rubidium melts just above normal human body temperature. Francium would have a melting point below caesium's (but probably above normal room temperature) if you could collect enough of it in one place to actually see and keep it from vaporizing your laboratory (it's pretty highly radioactive, and chemically reactive to boot; caesium and rubidium are also highly chemically reactive).
What A triglyceride that is liquid at room temperature?
Oils are liquid triglycerides, at room temperature that is.
Is propanone a liquid or solid at room temperature?
propanone is liquid at room temperature
Can compounds made of molecules exists as liquid?
Yes. The most common example is water, a molcular compound that is liquid at room temperature. In fact, nearly all room-temperature liquids are molecular compounds. Only two elements are liquid at room temperature, and ionic compounds have high melting points.
Is CH4O a liquid at room temperature?
Methanol is a liquid at room temperature.
