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.

How is barium used?

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.

What is the equation for barium with water?

The reaction of barium with water is: Ba(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ba(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

What is in a barium enema that is different than the enema for a colonoscopy?

A barium enema, also known as a lower GI (gastrointestinal) exam, is a test that uses x-ray examination to view the large intestine. There are two types of this test: the single-contrast technique where barium sulfate is injected into the rectum in order to gain a profile view of the large intestine; and the double-contrast (or "air contrast") technique where air is inserted into the rectum.

Where is the lowest electronegativity barium calcium magnesium or strontium?

Both are ions and we should consider the ionic radius, not the atomic radius.

Rubidium ion (Rb+) will have a larger IONIC radius than strontium ion (Sr2+).

Both ions have the same electronic configuration. But strontium ion has more number of protons in the nucleus. Hence it will have greater force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons, resulting in smaller size.

What is the symbol of barium and number of neutrons?

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

What type of bond occurs between barium and sulfur?

An ionic bond would occur between sulfur and barium.

Is barium iodide a salt?

Yes, Im taking chemistry at the community college. Barium dichloride is an anhydrous salt.

Is barium metallic or nonmetallic?

Barium is a rare metal that is non magnetic

What is the reaction of calcium and barium?

Yes they are both alkaline earth metals in the same group on the periodic table

How does barium occur naturally?

Can be used in Fluoirescent tubes and also make Paint, Bricks, Tiles, Glass and Rubber.

What is barium x-ray?

scanning with barium is knownas barium cat scan

Is barium chloride conductive?

Not in its usual solid state. But like other ionic compounds calcium chloride will conduct electricity if molten or dissolved in water.

Why are nails made of iron but they never made of barium or phosphorus?

Phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.

What is the chemical formula for barium permanganate?

A permanganate anion has a single negative charge, while a barium cation has two positive charges. Therefore, the formula for anhydrous barium permanganate is Ba(MnO4)2.

What is the chemical formula of barium sulphite?

The chemical formula for Barium Hydride is BaH2.

Ba = Barium

H = Hydrogen

Its molecular mass is 139.34288 g/mol.

What happens to barium in water?

Ba + 2 H2O --> Ba(OH)2 + H2

Barium + Water --> Barium Hydroxide + Hydrogen Gas.

What is barium swallow?

It's a fluid which has barium in it - Barium is radioactive, and shows up on X-rays. The barium 'meal' (as it's also called) is used by doctors to observe the passages of fluid etc through the digestive tract.

Is barium sulfite soluble in water?

0.16 grams of BaF2 only soluble in 1 litre of water.

But it can be dissolved using Nitric acid and Hydrochloric acid.

0.5 g BaF2 + 5 ml Conc. HCl + 5 ml of Conc. Nitric acid - boil it until effervescence ceases. Add some water. You get clear solution.
