Barium+56

Ella Girl Barium 56 Barium History Uses and chemical/physical characteristics Barium is used for fireworks. Barium is a soft silver metal. It is never found in nature. It can be smooth rounded pebble glowed in the presence of light from the sun moon or lamp. It can also sometimes be a green color to flames and or a silvery grayish color.Sir Humphry Davy in England first discovered barium. He was the first to isolate some barium minerals .It was found / discovered in the Bologna stones near Italy, in the very early 1500s. Later other scientists discovered it. Bariums name originates from Greek brays, meaning “heavy”. Barium was not always called barium. It was once called Barote and was changed later on in time. People that tried to turn minerals into gold called Alchemistists in the early middle ages.B arium is 0.0425 % in the Earth's crust and 13 µg/L in sea water. A rare gem containing barium is known, called [|benitoite]. Large deposits of barite are found in China, Germany, India Morocco, and the Us Because barite is so insoluble, it cannot be used directly for the preparation of other barium compounds, or barium metal. BaSO4 + 2 C → BaS + 2 CO2 Barium is commercially produced through the electrolysis of molten [|barium chloride] (cathode) Ba2+ + 2 e⁻ → Ba(anode) 2 Cl– → Cl2 (g) + 2 e⁻ Barium metal is also obtained by the reduction of [|barium oxide] with finely divided aluminum at temperatures between 1100 and 1200 °C: 4 BaO + 2 Al → BaO·Al2O3 + 3 Ba (g) The barium vapor is cooled by water and condensed into the solid metal. The solid block may be cast into rods or extruded into wires. Being a flammable solid, it is packaged in steel containers or plastic bags.

Atomic infoThe Atomic mass is 137. The Atomic number is 56. This element has 56 protons and 56 Neutrons and it has 81 electrons. To find the amount of electrons Barium has you have to subtract the protons by the atomic mass = electrons.
