That will depend on its ionization state. Without knowing that this question cannot be answered.
The name for this ion is:barium ion
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.
In the ion of barium, two electron are lost to follow the octet rule (to have a complete valence electron shell).
Barium's atomic number is 56. Thus, barium has 56 protons and 56 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2. So, barium has 2 electrons in its highest energy level, level 6.
the answer is 28

Ba2+ ion has a total of 56 electrons. Barium (Ba) has 56 electrons in its neutral state, and when it loses two electrons to become Ba2+, it now has 54 electrons remaining.
In the ion of barium, two electron are lost to follow the octet rule (to have a complete valence electron shell).
When a barium atom forms an ion, it loses two electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration like a noble gas. This results in the formation of a Ba2+ ion with a 0 oxidation state.
2+
Barium forms an ion with a 2+ charge because it has 2 valence electrons in its outer shell. By losing these 2 electrons, barium achieves a stable electron configuration similar to a noble gas, which is energetically favorable.
Barium has 56 electrons.
Barium's atomic number is 56. Thus, barium has 56 protons and 56 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2. So, barium has 2 electrons in its highest energy level, level 6.
Barium (Ba) has an atomic number of 56, which means it has 56 electrons in a neutral atom. The "2" you mentioned likely refers to the charge on the barium ion (Ba2+), which means it has lost two electrons, resulting in 54 electrons in the Ba2+ ion.
