单词 caesium
释义

Definition of caesium in English:

caesium

(US cesium)
noun ˈsiːzɪəmˈsiziəm
mass noun
  • The chemical element of atomic number 55, a soft, silvery, extremely reactive metal. It belongs to the alkali metal group and occurs as a trace element in some rocks and minerals.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Researchers are particularly interested in zeolites filled with metal atoms such as cesium.
    • The University of Southampton used mass spectrometry to probe samples for plutonium, radium and caesium.
    • Later, the radioactive cesium or strontium is trapped in the zeolite and is excreted.
    • They discovered two new elements, caesium and rubidium in the course of their investigations.
    • Those that produce a measurable spectrum when subjected to flame include, but are not limited to, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, zinc, and cadmium.
    • Once ingested, radioactive plutonium, cesium and strontium atoms morph into agents of death in the body, stealthily emitting radiation internally and constantly bombarding the genes of nearby cells.
    • Food irradiation uses gamma rays from cesium - 137 and cobalt - 60, which are capable of causing chemical changes in these foods.
    • However, water-soluble rubidium, cesium, thallium, and silver minerals are virtually nonexistent and should pose no complication.
    • We breathe air polluted with lead, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides from car exhausts, sulphur dioxide from chimney flues, radioactive iodine, caesium and a host of other radionuclides from the flues of nuclear installations.
    • These elements - lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium - all react with water to give solutions that change the color of a vegetable dye from red to blue.
    • The same cannot be said of logarithms or the reactivity of caesium.
    • Reasonable permeation free energy profiles are obtained for potassium, rubidium, and cesium; binding wells are shallow and the central barrier is small.
    • We're using our big laser system to study the detailed atomic physics of xenon with other alkalis besides rubidium, such as cesium and potassium.
    • Fifteen years after the disaster, Bulgaria still suffers from the effects - mostly in the form of increased levels in the environment of cesium and strontium.
    • While cesium and strontium, the two materials found in the generators, cannot be used to make nuclear weapons, they could contaminate large areas if combined with explosives.
    • They mapped the patterns made by known elements and discovered many new ones, including rubidium and cesium.
    • In addition to this, the government-sponsored nuclear industry regularly released enormous quantities of radioactive Iodine, cesium, and strontium into the atmosphere just to see what might happen.
    • Because of the very slow natural process of decontamination of soil tainted by strontium 90, cesium 137, and plutonium, the agricultural consequences will persist for forty to fifty years.
    • The alkali metals are silver colored except for cesium, which is pale gold.
    • They also can form condensates out of numerous different elements, including sodium, potassium, lithium, cesium, hydrogen and helium.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from Latin caesius 'greyish-blue' (because it has characteristic lines in the blue part of the spectrum).
