please answer this quickly it is for nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

(in the image just look at the table not at the element selected)

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, caesium has very low melting point

because as we can see that in alkali metal as we move down the group in the periodic table the distance of the electron from the nucleus increases thus the metallic bond weakens thus the melting point of the metal decreases.
