Caesium forms alloys with the added acrid metals, as able-bodied as with gold, and amalgams with mercury. At temperatures beneath 650 °C (1,202 °F), it does not admixture with cobalt, iron, molybdenum, nickel, platinum, tantalum or tungsten.
It forms categorical intermetallic compounds with antimony, gallium, indium and thorium, which are photosensitive. A few amalgams accept been studied: CsHg2 is atramentous with a amethyst brownish luster, while CsHg is golden-coloured, aswell with a brownish luster.
It mixes with all the added acrid metals (except lithium); the admixture with a molar administering of 41% caesium, 47% potassium, and 12% sodium has the everyman melting point of any accepted metal alloy, at ?78 °C (?108 °F).
