It melts just above room temperature. It is about half as abundant as lead and 70 times as abundant as silver. The primary difficulty associated with the production of pure cesium is that cesium is always found together with rubidium in nature and is also mixed with other alkali metals. Because cesium and rubidium are very similar chemically, their separation presented numerous problems before the advent of ion-exchange methods and ion-specific complexing agents such as crown ethers. Once pure salts have been prepared, it is a straightforward task to convert them to the free metal. Cesium metal is produced in rather limited amounts because of its relatively high cost. Cesium has application in thermionic power converters that generate electricity directly within nuclear reactors or from the heat produced by radioactive decay. Cesium is difficult to handle because it reacts spontaneously in air. If a metal sample has a large enough surface area, it can burn to form superoxides. Cesium superoxide has a more reddish cast. Cesium is the most electropositive and most alkaline element, and thus, more easily than all other elements, it loses its single valence electron and forms ionic bonds with nearly all the inorganic and organic anions. Rubidium and cesium are miscible in all proportions and have complete solid solubility.</p> <p>Temperature (degrees Celsius), Dynamic viscosity (grams per meter per second)</p> <p>50 0.598</p> <p>100 0.469</p> <p>150 0.389</p> <p>200 0.334</p> <p>250 0.294</p> <p>300 0.264</p> <p>350 0.24</p> <p>400 0.221</p> <p>450 0.206</p> <p>500 0.192</p> <p>550 0.181</p> <p>600 0.171</p> <p>650 0.163</p> <p>700 0.156</p> <p>750 0.149</p> <p>800 0.143</p> <p>850 0.138</p> <p>900 0.134</p> <p>950 0.129</p> <p>1000 0.125</p> <p>1050 0.122</p> <p>1100 0.119</p> <p>1150 0.116</p> <p>1200 0.113</p> <p>1250 0.11</p> <p>1300 0.108</p> <p>1350 0.106</p> <p>1400 0.104</p> <p>1450 0.102</p> <p>1500 0.1</p> <p>1550 0.098</p> <p>1600 0.097</p> <p>1650 0.095</p> <p>1700 0.094</p> <p>1750 0.092</p> <p>1800 0.091</p> <p>1850 0.090</p> <p>1900 0.089</p> <p>1950 0.088</p> <p>2000 0.086</p> <p>Contributor: Junjie Chen, ORCID: 0000-0001-5055-4309, E-mail address: komcjj@gmail.com, Department of Energy and Power Engineering, School of Mechanical and Power Engineering, Henan Polytechnic University, 2000 Century Avenue, Jiaozuo, Henan, 454000, P.R.
