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 132.9 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: 28. 5 °C. Its boiling point, 678.4 °C, is
relatively high. It is a highly reactive metal (“Cesium”). The British spell
it Caesium (Bentor). Cesium costs roughly $1,100.00 per 100g, so it is
relatively expensive and unavailable (“Cesium”).
