Question

choose the symbol for the cesium cation.
ect all that apply
a $cu^{2+}$
b $cr^{2+}$
c $cs^{1+}$
d $cs^{+}$

Explanation:

Cesium is an alkali metal with the symbol Cs. Alkali metals typically lose one electron to form a cation with a +1 charge. The standard notation for the cesium cation is \(Cs^{+}\). The \(1+\) in \(Cs^{1+}\) is redundant as the + sign already indicates a +1 charge. \(Cu^{2+}\) is the copper (II) cation and \(Cr^{2+}\) is the chromium (II) cation, which are not related to cesium.

Answer:

d. \(Cs^{+}\)
