Barium hydroxide Barium hydroxide Barium hydroxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Ba(OH)(HO). The monohydrate (x =1), known as baryta or baryta-water, is one of the principal compounds of barium. This white granular monohydrate is the usual commercial form. Barium hydroxide can be prepared by dissolving barium oxide (BaO) in water: It crystallises as the octahydrate, which converts to the monohydrate upon heating in air. At 100 °C in a vacuum, the monohydrate will yield BaO and water. The monohydrate adopts a layered structure (see picture above). The Ba centers adopt a square anti-prismatic geometry. Each Ba center is bound
Metallic dragon and adamantine dragons for brass and bronze, and released the latter dragons in a later book alongside cobalt, mercury, mithral, orium, and steel dragons. The classification of "metallic dragons" was used in the "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" second edition "Monstrous Manual" (1993), although the gold(en) dragon first appeared in the original "Dungeons & Dragons" "white box" set (1974) and the other dragons comprising the category had been in print since the first edition "Monster Manual" (1977).
