Barium produces a white contrast image of the lining of the colon on x ray and thus, the contour of the lining of the colon may be seen. Detail can be increased if the barium utilized is thinned and air also introduced.
Barium meals are eaten so that doctors can have a better look of the internal lining of the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. The barium coats the inside of the digestive tract and shows up in x-rays. Barium meals can show if the inside of the digestive tract is perforated (torn) or if there are ulcers anywhere.
Barium is often used in barium-nickel alloys for spark-plug electrodes in vacuum tubes as drying and oxygen-removing agent. It is also used in fluorescent lamps: impure barium sulphide phosphoresces after exposure to the light. Barium compounds are used by the oil and gas industries to make drilling mud. Drilling mud simplifies drilling through rocks by lubricating the drill. Barium compounds are also used to make paint, bricks, tiles, glass, and rubber. Barium nitrate and chlorate give fireworks a green colour.
Barium nitride is a "salt like" nitride- which means that he bonding is best considered as ionic. the lewis dot is your method of showing ions Ba2+ ion and an N3- ion, this is sometimes done with the outer shell shown complete, which is 8 electrons for both ions.
The solubility of alkaline earth metal compounds generally increases down the group in the periodic table. This trend is particularly evident for hydroxides and sulfates, where the solubility of hydroxides increases from beryllium to barium, while sulfates show a decrease in solubility from magnesium to barium. The increase in ionic size and decrease in lattice energy as one moves down the group contribute to this trend. Overall, this results in greater solubility for heavier alkaline earth metals compared to their lighter counterparts.
Because barium is a heavy element which absorbs X-rays. After a barium meal is swallowed it enters the upper G-I system; alternatively a barium enema enters the lower G-I tract. The patient is tipped this way and that so that the whole inside of the tract is covered, then X-rays are taken to show what is there.
They do not show up on regular x rays

Doctors may give you a barium meal to show up parts of the upper digestive tract.
Soft tissues do not show up well on x-rays because they are not dense enough to block x-rays. However, contrast agents like barium or iodine can be used to highlight soft tissues by absorbing or scattering more x-rays, making them visible on the image.
It depends entirely on the barium procedure you are attempting. A single contrast barium swallow for example needs around 60-155% w/v. If you need visualization of the stomach, the numbers will be different. The smallest amount of Barium will show up on X-ray, however, due to its high atomic number. This is evidenced by the dramatic chest x-rays of people who have had barium aspiration.
Barium typically does not appear on ultrasound because it is a dense material that does not transmit sound waves effectively. Instead, barium is primarily used in radiographic imaging, such as X-rays or CT scans, to enhance the visibility of the gastrointestinal tract. In ultrasound, barium can cause artifacts or shadowing, which may obscure underlying structures rather than providing clear images. Thus, it is not a standard contrast agent for ultrasound examinations.
the patient is given a solution of water and barium sulfate to drink slowly. X-rays are taken at intervals as the patient swallows the mixture; the images are analyzed for signs of reflux, inflammation, dysmotility, strictures, and other abnormalities
It's x-rays that can show your bones.

Yes hickeys do show up on x-rays. and tooth paste does not get rid of them
