BaO is an ionic compound. You can determine it is ionic because the bond exists between a metal (Ba) and a non-metal (O).

Is BaO ionic or molecular?

No. One way to tell is that Ba and O are on opposite sides of the periodic table, and Ba is a metal and O is a nonmetal. We can also determine the difference in electronegativity. A difference of >1.6 is generally considered as ionic. The electronegativity of Ba is 0.89 and of O is 3.44. 3.44 - 0.89 = 2.55, so the bond is ionic.

Does oxygen and barium form an ionic compound?

Barium can form two distinct compounds with oxygen as the only other element in the compound: barium oxide with formula BaO and barium peroxide with formula BaO2. The first of these compounds is more common and more stable.


What is more soluble KCI or BaO?

KCl (potassium chloride) is more soluble in water than BaO (barium oxide). KCl dissolves readily in water due to its ionic nature and the strong interaction with water molecules. In contrast, BaO is less soluble because it forms a strong ionic bond with barium and oxide ions, and it reacts with water to produce barium hydroxide, which is also not highly soluble. Thus, KCl has higher solubility compared to BaO.
