Cesium hydroxide
Cesium hydroxide is a chemical compound made of cesium and oxygen, with the formula CsOH. It is a strong base, meaning it readily reacts with acids and can neutralize them. In nature, cesium is a rare element, and CsOH is used mainly in specialized industrial applications, such as in chemical manufacturing and research. It is highly corrosive and must be handled with care, as it can cause burns upon contact with skin or eyes. Due to its strong alkalinity, cesium hydroxide plays a role in processes requiring a powerful base, especially in scientific experiments.
