- A soft silver-white ductile metallic element (liquid at normal temperatures); the most electropositive and alkaline metal
- Caesium or cesium is a chemical element with symbolu00A0Cs and atomic numberu00A055. It is a soft, silvery-gold alkali metal with a melting point of 28.5u00A0u00B0C (83.3u00A0u00B0F), which makes it one of only five elemental metals that are liquid at or near room temperature. Caesium is an alkali metal and has physical and chemical properties similar to those of rubidium and potassium...
- Alternative spelling of caesium
- Is a fission product of U-235. It emits beta and gamma radiation and can cause radiation sickness and death if exposures are high enough. ...
- Cesium is a naturally occurring element found combined with other elements in rocks, soil, and dust in low amounts. Nuclear explosions or the breakdown of uranium in fuel elements can produce two radioactive forms of cesium ^134Cs and ^137Cs. Both isotopes decay into non-radioactive elements. ...
- Symbol:"Cs" Atomic Number:"55" Atomic Mass: 132.91amu. One of the alkali metal group. This element can be found in many minerals. When pure it is a silvery-white color and is used in atomic clocks and photoelectric cells. It is one of three metals found in a liquid state at room temperature. ...
- An element that is chemically similar to sodium and potassium. Some victims of the Chernobyl accident, which occurred in April 1986 in the Ukraine, inhaled cesium-137 along with other radionuclides. Cesium-137 emits highly penetrating gamma radiation.
- A metallic element, symbol Cs, atomic number 55. British spelling caesium
