Cesium and Ionic Charges

The video explains the ionic charge of cesium (Cs) using the periodic table. Cesium, located in group one, forms ions with a one plus charge by losing one electron. This charge pattern is consistent with other elements in group one. The video also describes how cesium can form ionic bonds by transferring electrons to elements that gain electrons and become negatively charged. The tutorial concludes with a summary of cesium's ionic properties.
