Caesium (IUPAC spelling; [9] also spelled cesium in American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Cs and atomic number 55. It is a soft, silvery-golden alkali metal with a melting point of 28.5 °C (83.3 °F; 301.6 K), which makes it one of only five elemental metals that are liquid at or near room temperature .
Carbon monosulfide is a chemical compound with the formula CS. This diatomic molecule is the sulfur analogue of carbon monoxide, and is unstable as a solid or a liquid, but it has been observed as a gas both in the laboratory and in the interstellar medium. [1] The molecule resembles carbon monoxide with a triple bond between carbon and sulfur.
Caesium chloride or cesium chloride is the inorganic compound with the formula Cs Cl. This colorless salt is an important source of caesium ions in a variety of niche applications. Its crystal structure forms a major structural type where each caesium ion is coordinated by 8 chloride ions.
Caesium oxide (IUPAC name), or cesium oxide, describes inorganic compounds composed of caesium and oxygen. Several binary (containing only Cs and O) oxides of caesium are known. [1] [2] Caesium oxide may refer to: Caesium suboxides (Cs 7 O, Cs 4 O, and Cs 11 O 3) Caesium monoxide (Cs 2 O, the most common oxide) Caesium peroxide (Cs 2 O 2 ...
Caesium iodide or cesium iodide (chemical formula CsI) is the ionic compound of caesium and iodine. It is often used as the input phosphor of an X-ray image intensifier tube found in fluoroscopy equipment.
Caesium oxide is used in photocathodes to detect infrared signals in devices such as image intensifiers, vacuum photodiodes, photomultipliers, and TV camera tubes [3] L. R. Koller described the first modern photoemissive surface in 1929–1930 as a layer of caesium on a layer of caesium oxide on a layer of silver. [4]
When the electropositive element is a metal, the compounds are sometimes referred to as “metal-rich”. Thus the normal oxide of caesium is Cs 2 O, which is described as a Cs + salt of O 2−. A suboxide of caesium is Cs 11 O 3, where the charge on Cs is clearly less than 1+, but the oxide is still described as O 2−.
Caesium carbonate or cesium carbonate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Cs 2 C O 3. It is white crystalline solid . Caesium carbonate has a high solubility in polar solvents such as water , ethanol and DMF .
