Period Number of Cesium (Cs) (& Location, Uses ... 2022

All atoms have a period number assigned, even Cesium. Ok but how do we know what is the period name for an atom of Cs?

If we know the symbol, let's say Cs, we may then open any periodic table and search for Cesium. Any decent periodic table should have the period numbers when you scroll left starting from the element you found.

In the case of Cesium the period number is 6. There is a lot of cool stuff about Cesium that people simply don't know. Let me show you...
