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


How many electrons does Ba has?

Valence electrons are electrons that are on the outside "shell." In Group (column) 1, there is only one valence electrons for each element. In Group (column) 2, there are two valence electrons. Group 13: 3 valence electrons Group 14: 4 valence electrons Group 15: 5 valence electrons Group 16: 6 valence electrons Group 17: 7 valence electrons Group 18: 8 valence electrons There is no Group 19, so this list is done. For the metals, each element will need to be mapped out utilizing the Bohr Diagram design or something of the like as valence electrons are difficult to define due to the grouping on the periodic table. The most valence electrons that can be in an outer shell is eight. Barium (Ba) is in Group (column) 2, and thus has only two valence electrons.
