CsOH is an alkaline hydroxide and it is strongly basic.
Explanation
CsOH is strongly basic because:-
- Caesium is an alkali metal. As we move down the group, the basic strength of alkali hydroxide increases Li to Cs. So LiOH<NaOH< KOH<RbOH<CsOH. They are a white crystalline solid structure.
- The alkali metal has low ionisation enthalpies thus, they have a stronger tendency to lose the electron from s valence shell.
- The ionization enthalpy decrease from Li to Cs. As a result lt, M-OH bond is more easily cleaved.
