Can Ba form a cation?
Yes, barium cation is Ba2+.
Is tin an anion or a cation?
Tin on its own is a neutral atom but will form cations since it is a metal.
Is barium metal or nonmetal or metalloid?
Barium is a metal. It belongs to group 2 or alkaline earth metal
What kind of metal is barium?
Barium is an alkaline-earth metal
Is Barium a metal metalloid or a nonmetal how do you know?
Barium is a metal. It belongs to group 2 or alkali metals
Can Ba form a cation?
Yes, barium cation is Ba2+.
When Barium and Oxygen react to form an ionic compound does Barium atoms lose 2 electrons and form a cation?
Yes! Barium is a group 2 metal and so loses two electrons. Oxygen is a group 16 non metal and will readily pick up two electrons. So, they form BaO.
Bonding present in barium chloride?
I think ionic, but I don't know why . . . barium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. barium needs to transfer two electrons to form a +2 cation. each chlorine atom can gain one electron, to form -1 anions. One barium will need two chlorine atoms to form barium chloride, BaCl2, which has ionic bonding.
What is the charge on barium is it cation or anion?
Barium is an alkaline-earth metal, which means it has two valence electrons. To fulfill the octet rule (see below), it wants to lose those two electrons. When it does this, the number of positive protons is greater than the negative electrons; the ion is positive. Positive ions are called anions.
What is the charge on the cation in the ionic compound barium sulfide?
It's 1+ Yeah
Is barium hydroxide a cation or an anion?
Barium hydroxide is not a cation or an anion. It is a compound. It is made of barium ions and hydroxide ions.
How many bromide ions can combine with one ion of barium to form an ionic compound?
Two bromide ions can combine with one barium cation to form an ionic compound, because a barium cation has an electrical charge of +2, while a bromide anion has an electrical charge of -1.
Is barium a cation or anion?
Barium loses two electrons in a reaction, so it becomes positive or a cation.
What is a cation barium ion clhorid ion nitrate ion or chromite ion?
barium ion is a cation. rest listed are anions.
What is the name for the compound BaI2?
The chemical BaI2 is "barium iodide".
Is tin an anion or a cation?
Tin on its own is a neutral atom but will form cations since it is a metal.
Is plutonium a cation?
Yes, as a metal plutonium can form cations.
