Cesium chlorate is an inorganic chemical compound with the ratio formula CsClO ₃ .

properties

Cesium chlorate is a colorless solid which has a trigonal crystal structure with the space group R 3 m (space group no. 160) . The salt is stable up to its melting point and a little beyond it and is therefore a very stable chlorate . It decomposes at high temperatures in two parallel ways:

${\displaystyle \mathrm {2\ CsClO_{3}\longrightarrow 2\ CsCl+3\ O_{2}} }$

${\displaystyle \mathrm {4\ CsClO_{3}\longrightarrow 3\ CsClO_{4}+CsCl} }$

Since cesium perchlorate is still stable at temperatures around the melting point of cesium chlorate, it accumulates together with cesium chloride during decomposition .
