The symbol (s) indicates a solid state in a chemical equation.
There are three common state symbols for chemical formulae. The first is (s) which is solid, the second is (g) which is gaseous, and the third is (aq) which denotes aqueous, or in a liquid solution.
it means the compound is dissolved in water.
You would denote a solid substance in a chemical equation by writing "(s)" next to the chemical formula of the solid. For example, if you want to indicate that sodium chloride is a solid in a chemical equation, you would write NaCl(s).
s stands for solid, and g stands for gas. For completeness sake I will include the fact that l stands for liquid. Hence, the symbols refer to which 'state' the chemicals/compounds in a chemical equation are in. e.g. if you see H2O (g) this means water vapour/steam. if you see H2O (l) this means liquid water. if you see H2O (s) this means solid/frozen water i.e. ice.

Barium is an element, with a chemical symbol of Ba. As an element it does not have a formula.
The meaning of (s) is solid.
The chemical equation for solid boron is B. Each boron atom has 3 valence electrons, giving it a total of 3 electrons in its outer shell.
In a chemical equation ,we must finish our chemical reaction with as many atoms of each element as when we started.the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of solid magnesium metal and barium chloride is given as .Mg + Bacl 2 -> Mgcl2 + Ba.
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Ca(s) + Cl2(g) -> CaCl2(s). This equation shows that one mole of solid calcium reacts with one mole of chlorine gas to produce one mole of solid calcium chloride.
