Answer:

Most similar ----- Lithium

Least similar ---- Nitrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

Cesium is an element on the periodic with the atomic number 133. It lies in group 1 (i.e., the alkali metals) and period 6 on the periodic table. The oxidation state of group 1 metals is +1. Cesium forms an oxide with oxygen as
Cs_2O.

The most similar compound to this chemical compound is Lithium because Lithium happens to be in the same group one metal with Cesium and forms the compound
Li_2O with the oxygen

The least similar compound nitrogen due to fact that it is an oxide that is covalent in nature and lies between-group 3 -17 to form an
NO_2 with oxygen.
