Ba - Barium - ALKALINE EARTH METAL
Barium is a chemical element with atomic number 56 and symbol Ba. It is a heavy metal, mainly produced during the merger of supernovae and neutron stars. It is located in goup 8A of the Periodic Table of Elements.
Barium is a shiny metal, is quite soft, and is silvery-white when freshly reduced. It has a density of 3.5 g/cm3 and melts at 725°C. It is soluble in sulfuric acid, but not in nitric acid or hydrochloric acid.
Barium is used in a variety of applications, including in industry for melting metals, in the alloy industry, and as a catalyst in chemical reactions. It is also used as a material for making small metal parts and dyes for textiles.
In medicine, barium is used as a contrast agent for radiological examinations and for the treatment of kidney and liver diseases. It is also used as a medicine for osteoporosis.
Barium has many properties that make it a useful material for many applications. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-flammable. It has a strong radiation absorption capacity and is easy to work with. It is often used for melting metals and alloys. Finally, it is also an excellent catalyst for chemical reactions.
