Part I. Comparison of Physical Properties of Elements Complete the table in the report form by writing the name and atomic number for each element. Observe the elements in the laboratory display. Describe their properties (color and luster). From your observations, describe each type of element as a metalor a non-metal Part II. Predicting ...
In this reference we present many of the physical and optical properties of cesium that are relevant to various quantum optics experiments. In particular, we give parameters that are useful in treating the mechanical effects of light on cesium atoms.
Students carry out an investigation of the physical and chemical properties of a set of elements. They analyze and interpret the data they have collected on these elements and begin to explore how this data can help identify pure substances. Finally, students assess how this new data can be used as evidence to determine if
Cesium, Physical and Chemical Properties. Cesium is a very soft, ductile, silvery white metal. It is the last member of the alkali metals (if Francium, the metal following it in the group, is ignored since it is radioactive with very short half-life).
Cesium is the largest naturally occurring element; it has an atomic radius of 2.65 Å. With its low ionization potential (376 kJ per mol), it readily gives up its only valence electron to produce ionic salts. One of these, cesium chloride, forms a basic structure type that I discuss in the introductory inorganic course.
