- Caesium or cesium is
the chemical element with the symbol Cs and atomic number 55.
- It is a soft,
silvery-gold alkali metal with a melting point of 28 °C (83 °F), which
makes it one of only five metals that are liquid at or near room
temperature.
- Caesium is most notably
used in atomic clocks.
- Caesium is the
international spelling standardized by the IUPAC, but in North American
English, the spelling cesium is more common.
- An alkali metal,
caesium occurs in lepidolite, pollucite (hydrated silicate of aluminium
and caesium) and within other sources.
- It can be isolated by
electrolysis of fused caesium cyanide and in a number of other
ways.
- Exceptionally
pure and gas-free caesium can be made by
the thermal decomposition
of caesium azide.
- The primary compounds
of caesium are caesium chloride and its nitrate.
- Caesium use as a
propellant was discontinued when Hughes Research Laboratory conducted a
study finding xenon gas as a suitable replacement.
- Caesium is used as a
catalyst in the hydrogenation of certain organic compounds.
- Radioactive isotopes of
caesium are used in the medical field to treat certain types of cancer.
- Caesium fluoride is
widely used in organic chemistry as a base and as a source of anhydrous
fluoride ion.
Caesium vapor is used in many common magnetometers.
- Cesium, as the oxide or
carbonate, was found to be an efficient promoter of ionization in the
flow of hot combustion gases from which electricity is obtained in
open-cycle MHD generators.
- Cesium also forms
photosensitive intermetallic compounds with antimony, gallium, indium,
and thorium.
- Cesium is the most
electropositive metal and bonds ionically with a wide variety of anions
to form compounds, many of which are hygroscopic.
