Question 8 • SVHS Chemistry 1 $FA

Which property would cesium most likely have?

Answer
A
It is hard.
B
It is ductile.
C
It is a gas.
D
It has low reactivity.

Explanation

Cesium is an alkali metal, and metals are generally ductile, meaning they can be drawn into wires. Cesium is very soft rather than hard, is a solid at room temperature rather than a gas, and reacts readily, so it does not have low reactivity. The best choice is “It is ductile.”
