caesium    Symbol: Cs    Atomic number: 55    Atomic weight: 132.90545    Soft silvery-white metallic element belonging to group 1 of the periodic    table. One of the three metals which are liquid at room temperature. Cs-133    is the natural, and only stable, isotope. Fifteen other radioisotopes exist.    Caesium reacts explosively with cold water, and ice at temperatures above    157K. Caesium hydroxide is the strongest base known. Caesium is the most    electropositive, most alkaline and has the least ionization potential of    all the elements. Known uses include the basis of atomic clocks, catalyst    for the hydrogenation of some organic compounds, and in photoelectric cells.    Caesium was discovered by Gustav Kirchoff and Robert Bunsen in Germany in    1860 spectroscopically. Its identification was based upon the bright blue    lines in its spectrum. The name comes from the latin word caesius, which    means sky blue. Caesium should be considered highly toxic. Some of the    radioisotopes are even more toxic.
