However, this compound is not usually used in experiments as the extraction of caesium is very expensive and the fact that it behaves very much like rubidium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide but reacts chemically stronger than they do. The common (Arrhenius) definition of a base is a chemical compound that either donates hydroxide ions or absorbs hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. ...

Caesium hydroxide can be obtained by the following chemical equation:

2Cs + 2H₂O → 2CsOH + H₂

The above reaction occurs explosively. Caesium metal will even react with ice above -116°C.
