首先请相信我,恕我直言,任何资料说铯是银白色的编写者都是没有看过铯的

我见过不下几十个铯的实物样本和照片,无一例外全部都是金黄色,无非略微的颜色差距而已。
对于这个话题有国外有人研究过:

--Reference goes on to explain the color in terms of the band structure of the metals, the salient point being that for higher atomic numbers, overlap of the s with the d orbitals makes a more significant contribution to the band structure, generally lowering the energy required for exitation of conduction band electrons, until in the case of cesium there is significant absorbtion in the blue region of the spectrum producing the golden color.
至于这里所谓的reference,我并没有找到,不过wiki上也有类似的说法:The golden colour of caesium comes from the decreasing frequency of light required to excite electrons of the alkali metals as the group is descended. For lithium through rubidium this frequency is in the ultraviolet, but for caesium it enters the blue–violet end of the spectrum; in other words, the plasmonic frequency of the alkali metals becomes lower from lithium to caesium. Thus caesium transmits and partially absorbs violet light preferentially while other colours (having lower frequency) are reflected; hence it appears yellowish.

然后《乌尔曼工业化学大全》和格林伍德都都描述铯是金黄色的,所以结论是什么就不用多说了吧。顺便补一张我的铯的样本,虽然不全,但也就是这么回事
