[edit] Reaction

Why isn't this compund created by reacting caesium straight with fluorine?

Seems like it be made that way, and maybe someone has even tried it. However, both Cs and F₂ are extremely hazardous materials due to their reactivity. If the goal is "create a given thing from any starting material one wants", it's more practical to pick easier-to-handle stuff. Consider that if you want gaseous H₂O, you could set off a giant hydrogen explosion, but in practice, most people would just boil a pot of water. DMacks 05:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, making both Cs metal and F₂ gas is very energy intensive. In theory, the energy could be recovered when they are reacted, but this would be inefficient. The above comment is right; cesium and fluorine would cause a violent explosion if mixed. --71.227.190.111 00:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Also consider both are on the extreams of electro chemistry Ie Florine the most electro negative element and caesium the most electro positive now has any one considerd a caesium florida battery?? I have and have the copy right and patent .

how does 3000 miles on one charge sound at 70 mph?/
