Description

It's that time again! :dummy:

"What do you do with a dead chemist?"
"Barium."


Anyway, here is some info about Barium:

The name 'Barium' comes from the Greek 'barys,' meaning 'heavy.'

It is a soft, silvery metal that reacts readily with air.

Barium compounds have been used in fireworks to produce a green color. :bulletgreen:

Historically, it has been used as an air scavenger (or "getter") in vacuum tubes

Barium sulfate, an insoluble compound, has been used as an x-ray contrast agent for imaging the gastrointestinal tract. Soluble barium compounds are toxic and have been used in the past as rat poison. :skull:


Info gathered from Periodictable.com and Wikipedia.
