Firstly, Casium is Element 55 in the periodic table with mass number 133 and atomic number 55. For all the elements in the s orbital (Those from Group 1 and 2), they are all metals. Metals have the electronic configuration ending with either .1 or .2. This basically means that they have two electrons in the outer shell.

Because of this, you can be sure that all metals will have to form positive ions (cations) which means that they are either X+ or X2+. (in which X represents the metal element

.indeed all cations r written with a positive charge.
Cesium (at. no.55)
elec conf.: [Xe] 6s1
hence Cesium loses 1 e- to take the configuration of [Xe],the most stable inert/noble gas closest to it.hence +1 charge on it.

The element cesium:

Forms a cation/anion	cation
With the charge	+1
The symbol for this ion is	Cs+
The name for this ion is	[Xe] after lossing one electron
The number of electrons in this ion is	54 Electrons
