Description

Cesium (Caesium) is a soft, silvery-gold alkali metal with a melting point of 28°C (82°F). Cesium is used in various industries, from the oil industry as cesium formate in drilling fluid, atomic clocks, centrifugation fluids, and cesium vapor thermionic generators, which convert heat energy to electrical energy.
