Barium
Magnesium
Barium doesn't really have any everyday household uses. It's used in certain technical applications such as glassmaking and the construction of fluorescent lights, and it's one of the elements used to make green fireworks, but you're unlikely to have a big chunk of barium sitting around your house. Good thing, too, because barium is poisonous (barium sulfate, which is given to people as a contrast agent for x-rays, is okay because it's quite insoluble and passes through the digestive system essentially unchanged and unabsorbed).
