This is because Barium has 2 valence electrons, which gives it group 2, and because it has 6 energy leves which puts it in group 6.
Barium, atomic number 56, is in group 2 of period VI (six) in the periodic system.
Six elements are there. And they are: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium
After Caesium atomic number 55 is barium 56 in the six th period.
Chromium
Platinum
The electron configuration of barium is [Xe]6s2.Barium has six electron shells with 2, 8, 18, 18, 8, 2 electrons.
They are found below the periodic table because they would take up too much room in the periodic table
carbon (group 14, period 2) hydrogen (group 1, period 1) nitrogen (group 15, period 2) oxygen (group 16, period 2) sulphur (group 16, period 3) halogens (group 17, period 2-5)
Thallium prononunced Thal-i-em is in the periodic table with Borium and alluminum. Thallium is in the metal classification and it is in Group 13 Period six. It is a solid while at room temperature.
Ba - Barium
There are six metals in group two of the periodic table. These metals are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. They are known as the alkaline earth metals and have similar chemical properties.
Iodine is found in period 5 of the periodic table. It is a nonmetal element with atomic number 53 and is located in group 17, also known as the halogens.
