Cesium
you mean?
*Edit*
Balls, it can be spelt either way.

No no no
Caesium is the CORRECT spelling. And it isn't Aluminum. It's Aluminium. Transparent, or otherwise.

it used to be aluminum, but the europeans changed it
the yanks didn't adopt the new spelling

Other way around.
It was first called Aluminum by Davy and later changed to conform with other elements ending in 'ium' ( something to do with Greek I think ).
European usage is still 'ium' whilst the Shermans insist on 'um'. Both are correct.

My science and technology dictionary
defines aluminum thus: "See aluminium."
Conclusive proof that although both are correct, aluminium is correcter.

True
But it just doesn't fit with all the other "-iniums". Like Geraninium...and...er..

It's very very reactive
With water. It's like sodium or lithium TIMES A THOUSAND. The video I saw ages back of someone
putting a tiny grain of caesium in to a
reasonably large glass vessel created a big
explosion, and actually shattered the vessel.

I saw that video
but as a 30 year old I reserve the right to forget everything I ever learnt and replace it with movie trivia and song lyrics.

They don't teach kids anywhere near that amount of chemistry these days do they?
(It's just next to the alkaline earth metals)

I have a laminated periodic table somewhere.
I may use it as a geeky table mat.
