Enthalpy of Fusion of Cesium (Cs) + Color, Sources, Discovery ... 2022

Energy and heat may change a substance's state from solid to liquid (Fusion). Such energy may be called enthalpy of fusion and it is important even for Cesium. Ok, so what is the enthalpy of fusion for an atom of Cs?

Note: Learn more about the enthalpy of fusion here.

In the case of Cesium, enthalpy of fusion is 2.09 kilojoules per mole. There are non heat related facts about Cesium that you might like to know. I'll walk you through...

Cesium Facts

Cesium Enthalpy of Fusion

2.09 kilojoules per mole

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Used as a 'getter' to remove air traces in vacuum and cathode-ray tubes. Also used in producing photoelectric devices and atomic clocks. Since it ionizes readily, it is used as an ion rocket motor propellant.

Atomic Mass

132,90543

Sources

Found in pollucite [(Cs4Al4Si9O26).H2O] and as trace in lepidolite.

Description

Very soft, light gray, ductile metal.

Atomic Symbol

Cs

Name Origin

Latin: coesius (sky blue); for the blue lines of its spectrum.

Atomic Number

55

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Enthalpy of Fusion of Cesium (Cs) + Color, Sources, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
