Sample Body Paragraph Cesium is a very unique element. The symbol for Cesium is Cs (”Cesium”), its atomic number is 55, and its atomic mass is amu’s (Bentor). Cesium is an alkali metal that is silvery-gold in color. Unlike many of the other elements, Cesium is liquid at room temperature because it has a low melting point: °C. Its boiling point, °C, is relatively high. It is a highly reactive metal (“Cesium”). The British spell it Caesium (Bentor). Cesium costs roughly $1, per 100g, so it is relatively expensive and unavailable (“Cesium”).
