Barium

Swallowing barium for a medical imaging test like a barium swallow provides clear images of your digestive system. It is usually safe when done under medical supervision. However, if accidentally ingested in large amounts, barium can be toxic and cause serious health issues such as poisoning.

The density of barium at standard temperature and pressure (STP) is approximately 3.51 grams per cubic centimeter.

The isotope symbol for Barium-137 is Ba-137.

Barium sulphide is primarily used in the manufacturing of various types of luminous paints, as well as in the production of phosphors for electronic displays and cathode-ray tubes. It can also be utilized in the synthesis of other barium compounds and as a precursor in chemical reactions.

yes, but only sometimes. sorry, I don't know when exactly it is diatomic.

Barium oxide, as an ionic compound, involves electron transfer between barium and oxygen ions. Barium (Ba) tends to lose two electrons to become a Ba2+ cation, and oxygen (O) tends to gain two electrons to become an O2- anion, forming a stable ionic compound. This electron transfer leads to the creation of a strong ionic bond between the barium and oxygen ions in barium oxide.

Barium is a metal. It belongs to group 2 or alkaline earth metal

Barium typically exists as a silver-white, soft alkaline earth metal in solid form, with a shiny finish. It is most commonly found in a crystalline structure.

Barium is used in various industries such as electronics, healthcare, and manufacturing. Its economic value comes from its applications in producing special glasses, rat poison, and x-ray contrast media, as well as for drilling fluids in the oil and gas industry. The global market for barium compounds is estimated to be worth several hundred million dollars annually.

Barium has 81 neutrons :D

Barium carbonate can be toxic if ingested in large amounts. It can cause serious health issues and potentially be fatal. It is important to handle this chemical with care and following safety guidelines.

A mole of any substance contains approximately 6.022 x 10^23 particles. For barium, this would be 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of barium.

Barium is not transparent to visible light as it is opaque. It is commonly used in applications such as x-ray imaging due to its ability to absorb and block radiation, making it ideal for use in medical imaging.

The anhydride of barium hydroxide is barium oxide (BaO). It is formed when barium hydroxide is heated to remove water molecules and only the oxide remains.

Barium hypochlorite is a white crystalline solid at room temperature. It is insoluble in water and has a high melting point.

The emission spectrum of barium nitrate typically includes several bands of light in the visible region, with some lines in the blue-green part of the spectrum being the most prominent. The specific wavelengths and intensities of these lines can vary depending on the experimental conditions.

Barium metal forms the Ba²⁺ cation.

Nothing - barium chloride is soluble. You can however precipitate either the barium (e.g. with sodium sulphate, giving barium sulpate, or the chloride, e.g. with silver nitrate giving silver chloride precipitate.

"Barium: Adding an element of fun to your night!"

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 anion of barium chloride is chloride (Cl-). Barium chloride is an ionic compound composed of the cation barium (Ba2+) and the anion chloride.

Barium can form compounds with oxygen (barium oxide) and hydrogen (barium hydride), depending on the conditions. Barium oxide is a white solid used in ceramics and glass manufacturing, while barium hydride is a reactive compound that can be used in organic chemistry reactions.
