Barium is often used in barium-nickel alloys for spark-plug electrodes in vacuum tubes as drying and oxygen-removing agent. It is also used in fluorescent lamps: impure barium sulphide phosphoresces after exposure to the light. Barium compounds are used by the oil and gas industries to make drilling mud. Drilling mud simplifies drilling through rocks by lubricating the drill. Barium compounds are also used to make paint, bricks, tiles, glass, and rubber. Barium nitrate and chlorate give fireworks a green colour.
It is used in fireworks, because when it is used in a compound, green flames are made. It's also used in paint,
the manufacturing of glass and rubber,
in rat poison ( because any compounds containing barium that can be dissolved in acid or water are poisonous),
in x - rays ( to outline organs, and therefore showing tumours and swellings- also because it passes through your digestive system easily).
I hope this helped!
barium - is a chemical element with the symbol Ba and atomic number 56. It is the fifth element in Group 2, a soft silvery metallic alkaline earth metal. Barium is never found in nature in its pure form due to its reactivity with air. Its oxide is historically known as baryta.
Barium has few industrial uses, but the metal has been historically used to scavenge air in vacuum tubes. Barium compounds impart a green color to flames and have been used in fireworks. Barium sulfate is used for its density, insolubility, and X-ray opacity. It is used as an insoluble heavy mud-like paste when drilling oil wells, and in purer form, as an X-ray radiocontrast agent for imaging the human gastrointestinal tract. Soluble barium compounds are poisonous due to release of the soluble barium ion, and have been used as rodenticides. New uses for barium continue to be sought. It is a component of some "high temperature" YBCO superconductors, and electroceramics.
Barium is used in X-rays by having a patient swallow a solution containing Barium. This solution will show up on the X-ray, and let the doctor trace your digestive track. It is also used as a filler is rubber and plastic, and because of it's ability to turn flame green, it is sometimes used in fireworks (the green ones, that is).
Barium hydroxide is used as an additive in thermoplastics (such as phenolic resins)
This is commonly used in dish detergent.....this is not correct.What is correct is that im an umpalumpa thats so fabulus
As it is opaque to X rays, it can be used as a porridge and fed to people having X rays of their intestinal tracts to provide contrast.
used in making rubber

Barium doesn't have a lot of uses, but barium sulfate is used in medicine as a contrast agent in some imaging.
The element of barium is invaluable to medicine. Barium is used for medical imaging of the human body to diagnose disease.
used in making rubber
sulf + barium
Barium phosphate (BaHPO4) is used for: - component of flame retardants - component of phosphors
Soluble barium compounds are poisonous due to release of the soluble barium ion, and have been used as rodenticides.

barium nitrate is used for flairs, explosives and is also used in the vaccum tube industry!
yes
it isn't
BaO is Barium Oxide. Barium Oxide is used in the making of glass.
Can be used in Fluoirescent tubes and also make Paint, Bricks, Tiles, Glass and Rubber.
