Answer : [tex]Cs_2CO_3[/tex] is an ionic compound.
Explanation :
As we know that the cesium is the alkali metal having the atomic number 55 and belongs to group 1. The symbol of cesium is, (Cs). The stable oxidation state of strontium is (+1).
The molecule carbonate is the non-metal polyatomic ion. The stable oxidation state of carbonate ion [tex](CO_3^{2-})[/tex] is, (-2).
When the cesium combine with the carbonate ion, it forms cesium carbonate. It is an ionic compound in which the a metal react with the non-metal and combine with the an ionic bond by the criss-cross method.
Hence, [tex]Cs_2CO_3[/tex] is an ionic compound.
