Barium hydroxide is not a cation or an anion. It is a compound. It is made of barium ions and hydroxide ions.
Ba is Barium, OH is Hydroxide and the 8 H2O is Octahydrate. This results in Barium Hydroxide Octahydrate.
Barium loses two electrons in a reaction, so it becomes positive or a cation.
that is hydroxide
when barium chloride dissociates, it produces : Ba2+ ions (cation) Cl- ions (anion)
hydroxide anion, OH-: alkaline solution hydrogen cation, H+; hydronium cation, (H3O)+: acidic solution

it is neutral ion
sodium hydroxide is itself a chemical. It can disassociate into a sodium cation and a hydroxide anion
Barium Oxide is BaO.Ba+2 is Barium positive ion (anion).

Lye is sodium hydroxide, NaOH. That's a sodium cation ionically bonded to the hydroxide anion. However, within the hydroxide anion, the oxygen and hydrogen are covalently bonded.
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an ionic compound consisting of a sodium cation na+ and an hydroxide anion OH-.
hydroxide anion, OH-: alkaline solution hydrogen cation, H+; hydronium cation, (H3O)+: acidic solution
A salt is made up of the anion of an acid the cation of a base. Potassium hydroxide is not a salt because it is a base itself.
One factor is that barium is a much larger atom and ion than magnesium. So the bond between barium and the hydroxide anion is much weaker, making it easier for the two ions to be pulled apart in water solution.
