What is the most likely charges of ions formed from barium and nitrogen?

Barium is a group 2 metal that typically forms a +2 ion, while nitrogen is a group 15 nonmetal that typically gains three electrons to form a -3 ion. Therefore, the most likely charges for ions formed from barium and nitrogen would be Ba2+ and N3- respectively.


What is the name of BaCl2.2H2O?

Barium Dichloride is NOT correct. The name is Barium Chloride it is a binary ionic compound.

How many of oxygen atoms are in barium hydroxide?

The minimum formula unit of barium hydroxide is Ba(OH)2. This contains one barium atom and two each of oxygen and hydrogen, for a total of five.


How many protons and neutrons and electrons does Barium have?

Barium has an atomic number of 56, which means that it has 56 protons. Thus, to have a neutral charge, it must carry 56 electrons as well. The atomic mass of Barium is 137.33, which means that the most common isotope of Barium should weight 137 atomic mass units. Subtract the weight of the protons (electrons being so small as to not matter in the overall weight), and you have the weight of the neutrons, 81 amus. Given that one neutron equals one amu, there are 81 neutrons in the most common isotope of Barium.56 protons56 electrons81 neutronsBarium has an atomic number of 56 and therefore has 56 each of protons and electrons. The number of neutrons is the mass number minus the atomic number:137 - 56 = 81 neutrons.Neutrons 81 or 82electrons 56protons 56

When barium forms its most common ion it gains electrons?

When barium forms its most common ion, it loses two electrons to achieve a full outer shell configuration, resulting in a 2+ ion (Ba^2+). This ion has a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas, which is energetically favorable.


What is the most common charge of barium?

Ba has no charge overall but the Barium ion has a 2+ charge.


How many subatomic particles and isotopes in barium?

Barium has 56 protons in its nucleus, making it a chemical element with an atomic number of 56. In its most abundant isotope, barium-138, it contains 82 neutrons. Barium has several isotopes, with a total of 13 known isotopes ranging from barium-130 to barium-144, but barium-138 is the most stable and common. In terms of subatomic particles, a typical barium atom has 56 protons and 82 neutrons, plus 56 electrons in its neutral state.


What is the symbol of barium and number of neutrons?

The symbol is Ba. The number of neutrons equal the number of protons.


Is barium rare or common?

Barium is considered a moderately abundant element in the Earth's crust and is more common than some other elements. It is the 14th most abundant element in the Earth's crust.


Is barium an ionic bond?

No. An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom, or group of atoms due to more or less electrons than necassary. Both barium and sulfate are ions, but together they are a compound, not an ion. Barium Sulfate is a chemical compound made up of two ions, a barium ion and a sulfate ion. A Barium ion is Ba+2, meaning it has two less electrons that a barium atom has. The reason for this is because the barium atom has 56 total electrons. Every atom wants to be ion with a filled valence shell, that is to have the same or similar electronic configuration of a noble gas (the elements in the right most column). The valence shell is the outermost shell of electrons and for barium the other shell is 8 electrons. In order for Barium to do this, it has to somehow lose 2 electrons to become similar to Xenon's electronic configuration. Sulfate, SO4 -2, is also an ion. the -2 means it has aqcuired 2 more electrons from another ion. It got those two electrons from the barium atom, simultaneously making the barium atom a barium ion. Sulfate is called a polyatomic ion, meaning an ion made up of more than 1 atom. When the barium ion gives the sulfate ion two electrons, thus making both electronic configurations "happy" they bond together to make an ionic bond, creating the compound barium sulfate.

What type of bond is barium nitrate?

A chemical compound such as barium nitrate never "is" any type of chemical bond; instead, the compound "has" or "contains" pairs of atoms joined by such bonds. Barium nitrate happens to contain both of the most common types of bonds: Barium cations are bound ionically to polyatomic nitrate anions, and the nitrate anions are internally bonded by three covalent bonds between the sole nitrogen atom and each of the three oxygen atoms.
