Cesium sulfide is an inorganic salt with a chemical formula Cs2S. It is a strong alkali in aqueous solution. In the air, cesium sulfide emits rotten egg smelling hydrogen sulfide.
Production
Similar to
- 2 Cs + S → Cs2S
By dissolving
cesium hydroxide solution, it will produce cesium bisulfide, then it will produce cesium sulfide too.[5][6]
。
- CsOH + H2S → CsHS + H2O
- CsHS + CsOH → Cs2S + H2O
