Answer:

Caesium reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of caesium hydroxide (CsOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic.
