Interestingly, ceasium and lithium are both made of the same fundamental particles and cannot be easily distinguished. The only known test for distinguishing these elements is to drop them in water. Lithium will release a satisfactory whistling noise 3 cents below middle C (at STP). Ceasium will only be 2 cents flat. If you have a chunk of lithium contaminated with ceasium (and you have a good ear) it will sound irritatingly out of tune.

Which element between lithium potassium rubidium and cesium has the smallest ionization energy?

T he smallest first ionization energyis for lithium.


Is the lithium atom bigger than the Cesium atom?

Not at all; the cesium atom is far bigger than the lithium atom.


Which atom lithium or cesium needs more energy to become an ion?

Cesium needs more energy to become an ion than lithium because cesium has a higher ionization energy due to its larger atomic size and greater distance of valence electrons from the nucleus. This makes it more difficult to remove electrons from cesium compared to lithium.


What is the difference between rubidium and seslium?

If you mean "What is the difference between rubidium and cesium?" then Rubidium and cesium are two different elements.They have similar properties but cesium is denser and has a higher atomic mass.Cesium also reacts more vigorously with water and air.

Cesium is more reactive. Down the group reactivity increases.

Is an lithium an metal?

Yes, along with Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium, Lithium is an alkali metal.


Why are Ionization potential decreases Lithium to Cesium?

The ionization potential decreases from lithium to cesium because the atomic size increases, leading to a greater distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus. This increased distance results in weaker attraction between the electron and the nucleus, making it easier to remove the outermost electron and therefore requiring less energy.


Which is more soluble in water among lithium and cesium?

Lithium and cesium are both highly reactive metals that will react violently with water (forming a hydroxide compound and giving off hydrogen gas) so the question of relative solubility doesn't really arise.


Why conductivity of lithium is less than cesium?

The conductivity of lithium is less than cesium because lithium has smaller atomic size and higher ionization energy compared to cesium. This results in weaker metallic bonding and less mobile charge carriers in the lattice structure of lithium, leading to lower conductivity. Additionally, lithium also has a higher tendency to form covalent bonds, which further reduces its conductivity.
