Cesium is a liquid at room temperature (melting point of 83.3°F or 28.5°C) due to its relatively low melting point compared to other metals. Its atoms have a weaker metallic bonding structure which allows them to break apart more easily into a liquid state.
Cesium is a solid metal at room temperature. It has a melting point of 28.5 degrees Celsius, which means it can turn into a liquid at relatively low temperatures.
The scientific definition of room temperature, also known as standard temperature and pressure (STP), is 68°F (20°C) at one atmosphere (sea level).By this definition, bromine and mercury are the only two elements that are liquid at room temperature.Three other elements -- cesium, gallium and rubidium -- become liquid near this mark. Cesium, for example, becomes liquid at 82° (28°C).It's also believed that francium would be liquid at or just above room temperature, but this highly-unstable radioactive element has yet to be manufactured in a quantity which would confirm this.
Cesium is a solid at room temperature, thus its normal phase is solid.
Caesium is usually a solid, but it does have a low melting point, and that's 83 °F (28 °C). This means that if you had a vial of caesium in your hand, and you were in a warm room, the caesium would melt. Caesium is one of only five metals that is a liquid at or near room temperature. Wikipedia has additional information on caesium. You'll find a link to their post on this element just down below here.
Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. There are other, non-metals that are also liquid at room temp, but I'm not certain which ones.There are 6 metals that are liquids at or near room temperature: Mercury, Caesium (Cesium), Gallium, Bromine, Francium, and Rubidium.
