Meaning of "caesium" in English

Caesium is a chemical element with the symbol Cs and atomic number 55. It is a soft, gold-colored metal that is highly reactive and is one of the ten least abundant metals. Caesium is notably used in atomic clocks, which are among the most accurate timekeeping devices available. Its applications extend to the fields of medical radiology and electronics. As a member of the alkali metal group, caesium is known for its low melting point, which allows it to be in a liquid state at just above room temperature.
