Caesium in a body centered cubic grid (α-iron type), space group I m3m, a = 0,6141 nanometers, Z = 2 crystallizes. With a high pressure can turn into other polymorphic modifications [7]. Caesium — a paramagnetic.
Caesium is dissolved in liquid ammonia (dark blue solutions) and the melted CsOH.
GOST TU 95.42-92

Production: Russia, China, Japan,
Caesium fraction of toral mass not less than 99,999%
Container at a forging:
the container from stainless steel of 7 liters, net weight is 10 kg in the environment of argon;
in glass ampoules from borosilicate glass weighing from 1 to 100 g or capillary glass ampoules from 1 to 200 mg.
Application
Caesium has found application only at the beginning of the 20th century when its minerals have been found and the technology of receiving in pure form is developed. Now caesium and its connections are used in electronics, radio - electro-, X-ray engineering, chemical industry, optics, medicine, nuclear power. Stable natural caesium-133 is generally applied, and it is limited — its radioactive isotope the caesium-137 emitted from the sum of fission fragments of uranium, plutonium, thorium in reactors of nuclear power plants.
It is applied in the electronic and lighting industry.
