Herkunft des Namen:	latein:
Beschreibung:	Very soft, light gray, ductile metal.
Entdeckt von:	Gustov Kirchoff, Robert Bunsen
Jahr:	1860
Ort:	Deutschland
Quelle(n):	Found in pollucite [(Cs4Al4Si9O26).H2O] and as trace in lepidolite.
Verwendung(en):	Used as a 'getter' to remove air traces in vacuum and cathode-ray tubes. Also used in producing photoelectric devices and atomic clocks. Since it ionizes readily, it is used as an ion rocket motor propellant.
