Best Answer

Barium has two valence electrons and will lose both of them to form the Ba2+ ion. Iodine has seven valence electrons and so wil gain one for a full octet to forb the I- ion. Since the charges must be balanced in a chemical compound, two iodide ions must bond with one barium ion. So the Compound form is BaI2 rather than BaI.
