Atomic Volume of Barium (Ba) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Atoms have a theoretical atomic volume, even Barium. Ok, so what is the atomic radius of Barium?

Note: Learn more about the molar (or atomic) volume here.

In the case of Barium the atomic volume is 39.24 cm³/mol. There are interesting things about Barium that people don't know about...

Barium Data

Barium Atomic Volume

39.24 cm³/mol

State at 20 °C

Solid

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.

Atomic Mass

137,327

Learn more about the atomic mass.

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.

Description

Soft, slightly malleable, silvery-white metal.

Atomic Number

56

Discovery

Discovered By: Sir Humphrey Davy
Year: 1808
Location: England

Atomic Symbol

Ba

Name Origin

Greek: barys (heavy or dense).

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

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. "Atomic Volume of Barium (Ba) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." 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.
