Barium chloride, or any other barium salt, should burn with a green flame. When a barium salt is burned, the thermal energy is transferred to the outer electrons of the barium ions. They gain enough energy to excite them to a higher energy level. They then drop back to their ground state, releasing energy.
Its atomic number is 56; its atomic mass is 137.36. The acid-soluble salts of barium are poisonous. Barium carbonate, formerly used in medicine, is now used to prepare the cardiac stimulant barium chloride; fine, milky barium sulfate is used as a contrast medium in radiographic imaging of the digestive tract.
