How would Mg change to gain noble gas structure?
How would Mg change to gain a noble gas structure?
What are five elements that are noble gases?
I think it would be easier to say what gases ARE noble gases. The six noble gases are Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. Any other elements are not Noble gases. This can include elements like Gold, Mercury, Calcium, Potassium, and barium.
What is the valency of barium chloride ion?
Barium's charge is 2+ and Chlorine's charge is 1- so the formula would be BaCl2
Is barium an ionic bond?
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.
What would life be without barium?
we'd have no more green fireworks

Would barium and iodine form an ionic solid?
Yes. Barium iodide is ionic
What is the valency of barium chloride ion?
Barium's charge is 2+ and Chlorine's charge is 1- so the formula would be BaCl2
Which element has 56 protons in its nucleus?
Barium. Atomic number 56 The reason for this is because Barium has 56 protons and the protons determin the atomic number (56).Also, that would be the same number of electrons. I hope this helped you :]
What is the cost of a barium swallow study for a small dog?
You would need to call a Veterinarian to get a quote for the barium study.
What type of bond forms between barium and tin?
Barium and tin are both metals, so they would not form any kind of bond.
How many more electrons does chloride need in order to have a noble gas configuration?
chlorine would need only one electron to attain an octet structure.
What is the name of the ionic compound BaCO3?
I guess the anionic part is missing in the question. Ba stands for the element barium and is not a compound.
What would the formula of a compound of barium and chlorine be?
H2S is the chemical formula for barium chloride.
Which is more reactive barium or cesium?
if you mean pure barium as in barium metal then yes it is very reactive if you left a piece of it out in the open air over night it would turn to a pile of white barium oxide and other various compounds
Barium chloride reacts sodium sulfate in aqueous solution to give soluble sodium chloride and insoluble barium sulfate how would you isolate the barium sulfate?
add water to dissolve the sodium chloride, filter and you can collect the barium sulfate behind the filter paper
