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.

When Barium and Oxygen react to form an ionic compound does Barium atoms lose 2 electrons and form a cation?
Yes! Barium is a group 2 metal and so loses two electrons. Oxygen is a group 16 non metal and will readily pick up two electrons. So, they form BaO.
How many bromide ions can combine with one ion of barium to form an ionic compound?
Two bromide ions can combine with one barium cation to form an ionic compound, because a barium cation has an electrical charge of +2, while a bromide anion has an electrical charge of -1.
What compounds does oxygen form?
ionic and covalent compound
Do Chlorine and Oxygen form an ionic compound?
No. There are several compounds of chlorine and oxygen, but all of them are molecular.
If barium has two valence electrons while chlorine has seven how many barium atoms are needed to form an ionic bond with chlorine?
Two
Is barium oxide an ionic compound?
Yes. Barium oxide is an ionic compound. Generally a metal with a nonmetal will form an ionic compound.
When Barium and Oxygen react to form an ionic compound does Barium atoms lose 2 electrons and form a cation?
Yes! Barium is a group 2 metal and so loses two electrons. Oxygen is a group 16 non metal and will readily pick up two electrons. So, they form BaO.
How many chlorines are used to form barium?
Barium gives its two electrons to two chlorine atoms (to form chloride ions) and they form an ionic compound barium chloride.
How many bromide ions can combine with one ion of barium to form an ionic compound?
Two bromide ions can combine with one barium cation to form an ionic compound, because a barium cation has an electrical charge of +2, while a bromide anion has an electrical charge of -1.
What compounds does oxygen form?
ionic and covalent compound
What is the correct chemical formula for a compound containg barium and oxygen?
BaO because Ba 2+ and 0 2- form an ionic bond with the simplest whole number ratio.
An element that can ionic compound with oxygen is?
Nearly all metals will form ionic compounds with oxygen, or 'oxides', as they are called.
Would barium and iodine form an ionic solid?
Yes. Barium iodide is ionic
If chlorine (nonmetal) has seven valence electrons while barium (metal) has two to donate how many chlorine atoms are needed to form an ionic bond with barium?
Two atoms of chlorine are needed, one to accept each of the barium electrons in an ionic compound, barium chloride (BaCl2).
Do Chlorine and Oxygen form an ionic compound?
No. There are several compounds of chlorine and oxygen, but all of them are molecular.
Will the element Barium become a negative ion?
No. Barium is a Group 2 element, and as such will lose its two valence electrons to form a Ba2+ ion when forming an ionic compound.
Why is SO2 not an ionic compound?
The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.
