In the Periodic Table, Ba is in the 2nd group, making it have a charge of 2 and it is a metal so it's a cation, making it lose electrons(+) so its charge would be Ba2+. (2+ is a superscript)

What compound is formed by mixing a Barium ion plus a hydroxide ion?

When barium ion is added to a hydroxide ion, the two opposite charges attract each other to form barium hydroxide Ba2+ + OH------>Ba(OH)2.


What is the difference between Ba and Ba 2 plus?

Ba2+ is the ion of the Ba atom. That means it has given away two electrons to other atoms in order to reach a stable state with 8 electrons in its outer shell.


How barium reacts with other elements?

Ba looses its two electrons to form Ba 2+ ion and then it reacts with other elements to form compounds.


What is Barium's oxidation state?

Barium is +2 valenced ion, so its oxidation state is +2 in ion form (Ba2+) and 0 in elemental (Ba) form

What is the formula for the compound formed by the barium ion Ba2 plus and the hydroxide ion OH NEGATIVE?

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


What electric charge is characteristic for an ion of Ba?

Barium (Ba) will typically have a +2 charge as it is a group 2A element.


How many electrons in Ba2?

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.
