Caesium fluoride is commonly used in organic synthesis as a fluorination agent. It is also used in the manufacturing of optical glasses and as an additive in some toothpaste for desensitizing teeth. Additionally, it has applications in the field of nuclear medicine for radiolabeling compounds.
Another name for cesium is simply Cs, which is its chemical symbol.
No, it does not. Fluorine is composed of diatomic molecules with all the electrons bound in atomic or molecular orbitals and therefore localised and unable to move around in an electric field.
There are two main forms of fluoride that are commonly found in oral health products: sodium fluoride and stannous fluoride. Sodium fluoride is most widely used in toothpaste and mouthwash for preventing cavities, while stannous fluoride is also effective in preventing cavities and reducing sensitivity.
Caesium chloride has a cubic crystal structure where each caesium ion is surrounded by eight chloride ions and vice versa. This arrangement forms a simple cubic lattice where caesium and chloride ions alternate to balance the charges.
The formula for caesium sulfate is Cs2SO4. It consists of two cesium (Cs) ions and one sulfate (SO4) ion.
