1. I-deliquence kalula. Kuyazwela ekukhanyeni. Incibilika kakhulu emanzini, inyibilika ku-ethanol, incibilika kancane ku-methanol, futhi icishe ingancibiliki ku-acetone. Ukuminyana kwesihlobo kungu-4.5. Iphuzu lokuncibilika lingu-621°C. Indawo yokubilisa icishe ibe ngu-1280°C. Inkomba ye-refractive ingu-1.7876. Kuyacasula. Ubuthi, i-LD50 (igundane, i-intraperitoneal) 1400mg/kg, (igundane, ngomlomo) 2386mg/kg.
2. I-cesium iodide inohlobo lwekristalu lwe-cesium chloride.
3. I-cesium iodide inokuzinza okuqinile kokushisa, kodwa ifakwa kalula umoya-mpilo emoyeni oswakeme.
4. I-cesium iodide ingabuye ifakwe i-oxidant eqinile njenge-sodium hypochlorite, i-sodium bismuthate, i-nitric acid, i-permanganic acid, ne-chlorine.
5. Ukwanda kokuncibilika kwe-iodine esixazululweni esinamanzi se-cesium iodide kungenxa: CsI+I2→CsI3.
6. I-cesium iodide ingasabela nge-nitrate esiliva: CsI+AgNO3==CsNO3+AgI↓, lapho i-AgI (i-iodide esiliva) iqinile ephuzi engancibiliki emanzini.
