All alkali metals are highly reactive. Caesium, being one of the heavier alkali metals, is also one of the most reactive and is highly explosive when it comes in contact with water, as the hydrogen gas produced by the reaction is heated by the thermal energy released at the same time, causing ignition, and a violent explosion (the same as all alkali metals) - but caesium is so reactive, this explosive reaction can even be triggered by cold water or ice. Caesium hydroxide is an extremely strong base, and can etch glass.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name for sulfur and cesium?
The compound formed between sulfur and cesium is called cesium sulfide.
Is cesium toxic?
Cesium compounds normally found are not considered particularly toxic, though, like anything else, an excessive amount of cesium is not good for you. It is said to make people irritable and cause spasm because it replaces potassium in the body. Metallic cesium reacts violently with water, and is not something you want to touch. Cesium isotopes leaked from nuclear power plants can be a serious problem because of their radioactivity.
What is the formula name of cesium and phosphorus?
cesium phosphide
What the name of Cs3N?
Cesium Nitride
What is cesium' me ion name?
The cesium ion is called cesium ion or Cs+.
What is correct name for cesium ion?
The correct name for the cesium ion is "cesium ion" or "Cs+ ion".
What is the formula for cesium chromate?
Cesium Chromate = Cs2CrO4
Does cesium sink or float?
cesium will sink
Formula for cesium peroxide?
The formula for Cesium Peroxide is: Cs2O2
When cesium and fluorine react they form what ionic compound?
When cesium and fluorine react, they form the ionic compound cesium fluoride (CsF).
Why is cesium chloride less reactive than cesium?
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.
What compound do cesium and sulfur form and what is the chemical formula?
They form cesium sulfide, and the formula is Ce2S.
