It's got 6 letters. The fourth one is an I.
I've narrowed it down to these:
Barium
Cerium
Cesium
Curium
Erbium
Osmium
Indium
Radium
It's a metal and is rare, but is found in some photoelectric cells and in atomic clocks.

I'm quite certain that it's cesium. Because of its large atomic radius and the fact that it only has one valence electron, it would want to get rid of the one electron in order to have a full shell of outer electrons.

Well, I'm definitely not a chemist or anything, but I've almost memorized the Periodic Table of Elements, and I'm only in eigth grade. So the best I could tell you is to take a good long look at a table, preferably a Flinn, and work it out. Find the number of valence electrons, and you're good. Most elements strive for a full outer shell of eight, just like the Noble gases. If you need more help, message me. :}
hope this helped...

Oxygen. It reacts with [virtually] each and every thing. in case you prefer a bang, attempt hydrogen [yet it particularly is with oxygen] maximum bangs are combining with oxygen. All chemical bangs are combining with oxygen.

It's cesium!! Just look two places above potassium.
