DensityFor other meanings of density, see density (disambiguation Density (symbol: rho Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass div, Hardness 1879 kg/m3Kilogram per cubic metre is the SI measure of density and is represented as kg/m³, where kg stands for kilogram and m³ stands for cubic metre. The density of water is about 1000 kg/m³, since a cubic metre of water weighs about a tonne. kg/m³" is sometimes, 0.2

Atomic properties
Atomic weightIn reference to a certain isotope of a chemical element, atomic weight (more accurately relative atomic mass though also called simply atomic mass is the mass of one atom of the isotope expressed in units atomic mass unit amu) such that the Carbon-12 isot 132.90545 amuThe atomic mass unit amu , unified atomic mass unit u , or dalton Da , is a small unit of mass used to express atomic masses and molecular masses. It is defined to be 1/12 of the mass of one atom of Carbon-12. Accordingly, :1 u 1/N gram 1/(1000 N) kg (whe
Atomic radiusAtomic radius is the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outmost stable electron orbital in a atom that is at equilibrium and is measured in picometers or Angstroms. Atomic radii are called covalent radii (a reference to the types of bonds formed) whe (calc.) 260 (298) pmPicometre ( American spelling: picometer is an SI measure of length that is equal to 10−12 of a metre.

Caesium (also spelled cesium, and pronounced /'siːzɪəm/, though it goes against Latin phonetics) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Cs and atomic number 55. It is a soft silvery-gold Alkali metal which is one of at least three metals that are liquid at room temperature. This element is most notably used in atomic clocks.

Caesium is sometimes spelt cesium, especially in North American English, but caesium is the official name preferred by IUPAC, although since 1993 it has recognized cesium as a variant.
