: [[Caesium]] is a more [[Reactivity|reactive]] [[Alkali Metal|alkali metal]] than [[Rubidium]] but less [[Reactivity|reactive]] than [[Francium]].
: [[Caesium]] is more [[Reactivity|reactive]] than [[Carbon]] on the [[Reactivity Series|reactivity series]] so it must be [[Extraction of Metals|extracted]] from its [[ore]] using [[electrolysis]].
: [[Caesium]] [[Oxidation|oxidises]] extremely quickly in the presence of [[Oxygen]] so it must be stored in a completely sealed container.: [[Caesium]] [[Chemical Reaction|reacts]] strongly explosively with [[water]] to produce [[Hydrogen]] [[gas]] and [[Caesium Hydroxide]].
: [[Caesium]] is a [[solid]] at [[STP|room temperature]].
: An [[atom]] of [[Caesium]] has only 1 [[electron]] in its [[Outer Shell|outer shell]].

: [[Caesium]] is a [[solid]] at [[STP|standard temperature and pressure]] with a [[Melting Point|melting point]] of 28.5 [[Degrees Celsius|°C]].
: An [[atom]] of [[Caesium]] has only 1 [[electron]] in its [[Outer Shell|outer shell]].
: [[Caesium]] [[ion]]s have lost an [[electron]] to become [[Positive Charged|positively charged]].
