All atoms have a period number assigned, even Barium. Ok but how do we know what is the period name for an atom of Ba?
If we know the symbol, let's say Ba, we may then open any periodic table and search for Barium. Any decent periodic table should have the period numbers when you scroll left starting from the element you found.
In the case of Barium the period number is 6. There is a lot of cool stuff about Barium that people simply don't know. Let me show you...

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Period Number of Barium (Ba) (& Location, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.

Discovery
Discovered By: Sir Humphrey DavyYear: 1808
Location: England
State at 20 °C
SolidDescription
Soft, slightly malleable, silvery-white metal.Atomic Symbol
BaName Origin
Greek: barys (heavy or dense).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.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.Want to learn more details and data about Barium (Ba)? Check my Elements Comprehensive List.
