99.79% of Barium is stable. The radioactive isotopes, 130Ba and 132 Ba have half lives of over 1.3*10^21 years. That is approx 280 billion times the age of planet earth! In the circumstances, it would be safe to say that barium is a stable element.

Is iodine -131 a more stable than barium -137?

Iodine 131 has a half-life of 8.0197 days. Barium has no half-life. So no, Iodine-131 is not more stable than barium-137.


What are Bariums isotopes?

Barium has seven isotopes, with atomic masses ranging from 130 to 138. The most abundant isotope of barium is Barium-138, making up about 71% of naturally occurring barium. Barium-137 is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of about 2.5 minutes.


Is a calcium atom larger than a barrium atom?

Calcium contains 20 protons, 20 neutrons and 20 electrons (on average). Barium has 56 protons 81 neutrons and 56 electrons (again, on average). So, Barium is much larger.

Does barium form barium peroxide or barium oxide?

Barium can form both barium peroxide (BaO2) and barium oxide (BaO) depending on the conditions. Barium peroxide is formed when barium reacts with oxygen in excess. Barium oxide is commonly formed when barium reacts with oxygen in limited supply or at high temperatures.


What is the name of BaO in chemistry?

Barium oxide is formed from barium and oxygen.

Why is barium carbonate toxic while barium sulphate is not?

Barium sulfate is insoluble in water, while barium carbonate will dissolve. As barium carbonate dissolves in water, it dissociates, and the barium ions are freed. The barium ions are toxic, and that is the crux of the issue.
