Can I buy cesium or thallium at a chemist's store?
Cesium and Thallium are two elements on the periodic table. They are both metals that are part of the alkali metal group.
Cesium is commonly used in atomic clocks, as well as in photoelectric cells and vacuum tubes. Thallium is used in infrared detectors, photocells, and as a doping agent in semiconductors.
Cesium and Thallium can be toxic in certain forms and concentrations. Cesium compounds can cause irritation to the eyes and skin, while Thallium compounds can be poisonous if ingested.
Cesium is highly reactive and can react violently with water, while Thallium is less reactive but can still react with acids and water. Both elements can also form various compounds with other elements.
Cesium and Thallium can be found in nature, although they are relatively rare. Cesium is typically found in minerals like pollucite and lepidolite, while Thallium is often found in ores of other metals such as zinc and lead.
