  2. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .

  3. Barium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium

    [9]: 2–3 Reactions with water and alcohols are also exothermic and release hydrogen gas: [9]: 3 Ba + 2 ROH → Ba(OR) 2 + H 2 ↑ (R is an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom) Barium reacts with ammonia to form the electride [Ba(NH 3) 6](e −) 2, which near room temperature gives the amide Ba(NH 2) 2. [11] The metal is readily attacked by acids.

  4. Reactivity series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series

    Even with this proviso, the electrode potentials of lithium and sodium – and hence their positions in the electrochemical series – appear anomalous. The order of reactivity, as shown by the vigour of the reaction with water or the speed at which the metal surface tarnishes in air, appears to be Cs > K > Na > Li > alkaline earth metals,

  5. Lattice energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_energy

    Barium oxide (BaO), for instance, which has the NaCl structure and therefore the same Madelung constant, has a bond radius of 275 picometers and a lattice energy of −3054 kJ/mol, while sodium chloride (NaCl) has a bond radius of 283 picometers and a lattice energy of −786 kJ/mol. The bond radii are similar but the charge numbers are not ...

  6. Fission products (by element) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_products_(by_element)

    Barium is formed in large amounts by the fission process. A short-lived barium isotope was confused with radium by some early workers. They were bombarding uranium with neutrons in an attempt to form a new element. But instead they caused fission which generated a large amount of radioactivity in the target.

  7. Barium hydride - Wikipedia

    Download as PDF; Printable version; ... Barium hydride is a chemical compound with the chemical formula BaH 2. [1] ... Barium hydride reacts with oxygen and water.

  8. Barium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_hydroxide

    Reactions of barium hydroxide with ammonium salts are strongly endothermic. The reaction of barium hydroxide octahydrate with ammonium chloride [18] [19] or [20] ammonium thiocyanate [20] [21] is often used as a classroom chemistry demonstration, producing temperatures cold enough to freeze water and enough water to dissolve the resulting mixture.

  9. Discovery of nuclear fission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_nuclear_fission

    This was the first observation of a nuclear reaction, that is, a reaction in which particles from one decay are used to transform another atomic nucleus. [30] A fully artificial nuclear reaction and nuclear transmutation was achieved in April 1932 by Ernest Walton and John Cockcroft , who used artificially accelerated protons against lithium ...
