Pure barium is very hard to prepare, to the extent that many of its properties are unknown. The these circumstances it is difficult to identify the uses of the pure element.
No, barium does not have a charge of negative two. Barium is a metal element with a charge of +2.
This formula tells you that the compound has one atom of the element Barium and two atoms of the element Fluorine. It is called Barium Fluoride.
No. Barium is a Group 2 element, and as such will lose its two valence electrons to form a Ba2+ ion when forming an ionic compound.
No. An element is a pure substance made of only one kind of atom. A compound is a pure substance made of two or more kinds of atom.
Any amount of only one element is pure. Purity refers to being one thing, not two or more.
Pure water is a compound as it consists of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. Its chemical formula is H2O.
There is no such thing. An element IS a pure substance.
Barium is an element which does not occur in pure (native) form on Earth. The two most common minerals in which barium occurs are Barite (BaSO4) and Witherite (BaCO3). According to its entry on wikipedia, Barite has Perfect cleavage parallel to base and prism faces: {001} Perfect, {210} Perfect, {010} Imperfect. I am unsure what sort of cleavage Witherite has.
There are 2 valence electrons in Barium.
no its a compound of two elements of hydrogen and oxygen
Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium and Radium
Fluorine would be the more reactive element because it needs to gain one electron. While Barium needs to gain two electrons. Thus it is easier to gain one than to lose two.
