The name for this ion is:barium ion
Barium forms a +2 charge, along with all other group 2 metals.
No. An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom, or group of atoms due to more or less electrons than necassary. Both barium and sulfate are ions, but together they are a compound, not an ion. Barium Sulfate is a chemical compound made up of two ions, a barium ion and a sulfate ion. A Barium ion is Ba+2, meaning it has two less electrons that a barium atom has. The reason for this is because the barium atom has 56 total electrons. Every atom wants to be ion with a filled valence shell, that is to have the same or similar electronic configuration of a noble gas (the elements in the right most column). The valence shell is the outermost shell of electrons and for barium the other shell is 8 electrons. In order for Barium to do this, it has to somehow lose 2 electrons to become similar to Xenon's electronic configuration. Sulfate, SO4 -2, is also an ion. the -2 means it has aqcuired 2 more electrons from another ion. It got those two electrons from the barium atom, simultaneously making the barium atom a barium ion. Sulfate is called a polyatomic ion, meaning an ion made up of more than 1 atom. When the barium ion gives the sulfate ion two electrons, thus making both electronic configurations "happy" they bond together to make an ionic bond, creating the compound barium sulfate.
Soluble barium compounds are poisonous due to release of the soluble barium ion, and have been used as rodenticides.
BaF2
The name for this ion is:barium ion
The chemical BaI2 is "barium iodide".
Barium ion = Ba2+ Hydroxide ion = OH-
Barium is divalent; the ion is Ba2+.
Barium ion, with a charge of +2.
Barium chloride; BaCl2
Barium ion, with a charge of +2.
barium ion is a cation. rest listed are anions.
Barium ion = Ba2+ Hydroxide ion = OH- The compound they make is Barium hydroxide = Ba(OH)2which is a precipitate insoluble in water.
i think you mean BaCl2... its barium chloride (Balance the equations next time XD)
A barium ion has a charge of 2+ and an iodide ion has a charge of 1-, therefore, two iodide ions are needed to balance the barium ion. Ba2+ + 2I- --> BaI2
When barium ion is added to a hydroxide ion, the two opposite charges attract each other to form barium hydroxide Ba2+ + OH------>Ba(OH)2.
