In the Periodic Table, Ba is in the 2nd group, making it have a charge of 2 and it is a metal so it's a cation, making it lose electrons(+) so its charge would be Ba2+. (2+ is a superscript)

What is the difference between Ba and Ba 2 plus?
Ba2+ is the ion of the Ba atom. That means it has given away two electrons to other atoms in order to reach a stable state with 8 electrons in its outer shell.
What electric charge is characteristic for an ion of Ba?
Barium (Ba) will typically have a +2 charge as it is a group 2A element.
What precipitate is most likely to form ba plus 2 na plus 1 oh-1 and c03-2?
BaCO3 Because it is an insoluble Salt.
If the formula for a compound is represented by X3Y2 and the charge on the Y ion is -3 what is the charge in the X ion plus 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4?
-946515634175
Is Ca2 plus likely to form How about Br- Ne- Ne plus?
Ca(2+) and Br- are common ions; the neon ion probable doesn't exist.
What compound is formed by mixing a Barium ion plus a hydroxide ion?
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.
How barium reacts with other elements?
Ba looses its two electrons to form Ba 2+ ion and then it reacts with other elements to form compounds.
What is Barium's oxidation state?
Barium is +2 valenced ion, so its oxidation state is +2 in ion form (Ba2+) and 0 in elemental (Ba) form
Barium BA is in Group 2 Recall that atoms in Group 1 lose one electron to form ions with a 1 charge What type of ion does barium probably form?
barium will lose two electrons to form an ion with a plus 2 charge. Thus, the resulting ion in reactions of barium is Ba2+.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/What_type_of_ion_would_barium_form_if_group_1_loses_one_electron_to_form_ions_with_a_1_plus_charge#ixzz17vdoXVSf
What is the formula ion formed from Ba?
The cation of barium is Ba(2+).
What is the formula for the compound formed by the barium ion Ba2 plus and the hydroxide ion OH NEGATIVE?
When combining atoms or groups to form a compound, look at their charges to determine how many of each you need in order for the positive and negative charges to cancel out (form a neural compound). Since Ba has a +2 charge and OH has a -1 charge, you need two OH groups to cancel out one Ba atom. In other words, make it so that +2 + -2 = 0. Here's the overall equation:Ba2+ + 2OH- --> Ba(OH)2
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
What is the difference between Ba and Ba 2 plus?
Ba2+ is the ion of the Ba atom. That means it has given away two electrons to other atoms in order to reach a stable state with 8 electrons in its outer shell.
How many electrons in Ba2?
there are 54 electrons in Ba 2+. as the atomic no. of Ba is 56, so when it loses two of its electrons.. there are 54 electron left..
What electric charge is characteristic for an ion of Ba?
Barium (Ba) will typically have a +2 charge as it is a group 2A element.
Why does potassium form a 1 plus ion while calcium forms a 2 plus ion?
potassium is in group 1 and calcium in group 2, so potassium has 1 valence electron and calcium 2.
What precipitate is most likely to form ba plus 2 na plus 1 oh-1 and c03-2?
BaCO3 Because it is an insoluble Salt.
