I would guess it is because it is the most reactive so it is the hardest to reduce.

Which is more reactive barium magnesium or beryllium?

Barium is more reactive than magnesium, and beryllium is less reactive than both. Reactivity generally increases as you move down a group on the periodic table, so barium is more reactive than magnesium due to its position in the same group.


What is the formula for ionic compound formed between barium and sulfur?

The ionic compound formed between barium and sulfur is barium sulfide, which has the chemical formula BaS. Barium is a group 2 metal with a 2+ charge, and sulfur is a group 16 nonmetal with a 2- charge. Therefore, to balance the charges, one barium ion (Ba2+) combines with one sulfide ion (S2-) to form BaS.


What element is in period 6 in the same group as Mg?

Ah, what a lovely question! In period 6, the element in the same group as Magnesium (Mg) is Barium (Ba). Both of these elements share similar chemical properties due to being in the same group on the periodic table. Isn't it fascinating how elements can show such wonderful patterns and relationships?


Formula for the ionic compound composed of barium and sulfide?

The barium ion has the formula Ba2+, and the Sulphide ion has the formula S2-. The formula for the formation of Barium Sulphide is: Ba + S --> BaSThe formula for Barium Sulphide is BaS


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 :]
