Atomic Mass of Barium (& Secrets: Sources, Uses and more...) 2022

Each atom has its own properties, including Barium. One of the most important properties an atom can have is the atomic mass.

So how much does Barium weight... or how much mass does it have?

The answer is 137,327. However there is a lot of secret stuff about Barium that most people don't know

Let's check it?

Discovery

Discovered By: Sir Humphrey Davy

Year: 1808

Uses

Barite, or barium sulfate (BaSO4), when ground is used as a filter for rubber, plastics, and resins. It is insoluable in water and so is used in X-rays of the digestive system. Barium nitrate, Ba(NO3)2, burns brilliant green and is used in fireworks.

Sources

Found in barytine (BaSO4) and witherite (BaCO3), never found in pure form due to its reactivity. Must be stored under kerosene to remain pure.

Name Origin
