Barium bromide and can cause severe poisoning if ingested. Barium bromide Barium bromide is the chemical compound with the formula BaBr. Like barium chloride, it dissolves well in water and is toxic in aqueous solution. BaBr crystallizes in a lead chloride motif, giving white orthorhombic crystals which are deliquescent. In aqueous solution BaBr behaves as a simple salt. Barium bromide reacts with the sulfate ion from sulfuric acid to produce a precipitate of barium sulfate. Similar reactions occur with oxalic acid, hydrofluoric acid, and phosphoric acid. Barium bromide can be prepared from barium sulfide or barium carbonate via reaction with hydrobromic acid
Chemical element for californium and Es for einsteinium), are always capitalized (see below). In the second half of the twentieth century, physics laboratories became able to produce nuclei of chemical elements with half-lives too short for an appreciable amount of them to exist at any time. These are also named by IUPAC, which generally adopts the name chosen by the discoverer. This practice can lead to the controversial question of which research group actually discovered an element, a question that delayed the naming of elements with atomic number of 104 and higher for a considerable amount of time. (See element naming controversy).
