2022: ☢️ Ionic Radius of Barium (Ba) [& Discovery, Color, Uses ...

All atom's ions have an ionic radius, even Barium. Ok so what is the ionic radius of a Barium ion?

In the case of Barium the ionic radius is 1.42 (+2) Å. Speaking of Barium, let me walk you through some interesting details...

Barium Facts

Barium Ionic Radius

1.42 (+2) Å

Discovery

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

Atomic Mass

137,327

Learn more about the atomic mass.

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.

Description

Soft, slightly malleable, silvery-white metal.

Atomic Symbol

Ba

Name Origin

Greek: barys (heavy or dense).

State at 20 °C

Solid

Atomic Number

56

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:
