When combining atoms or groups to form a compound, look at their charges to determine how many of each you need in order for the positive and negative charges to cancel out (form a neural compound). Since Ba has a +2 charge and OH has a -1 charge, you need two OH groups to cancel out one Ba atom. In other words, make it so that +2 + -2 = 0. Here's the overall equation:

Ba2+ + 2OH- --> Ba(OH)2
