B) Isolantes elétricos. C) Radioatividade. D) Emissão de raio UVA.

Answer 1

1) Ba(OH)₂

2) The correct option is a) they conduct electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

To deduce the formula of Barium hydroxide, we have to go to the periodic table and look for the Barium (Ba), which is in group 2 and has an ionic charge of 2+. Hydroxides are not an element that is present in the periodic table is the combination of Oxygen and Hydrogen (OH), and its ionic charge is 1-.

To name this substance, we write the elements that form it, which are Ba OH, then we see the ionic charges that they have, Ba2+ OH 1- and we change these charges giving the 2+ to the OH and the 1- to the Ba. It would look Ba OH₂; we do not write the 1, and as there is a 2, the OH, has to be between brackets so that the final formula is Ba(OH)₂. What we did is balancing the charges of the elements. In other words, we need 2 OH for every Ba. Hydroxides give an electron to balance the Ba ionic charge.

Barium Hydroxide is an ionic compound because ionic compounds are formed by a metal (Ba) and a nonmetal element (OH), ionic compounds are charged, so when they are in an aqueous solution they conduct electricity because their ions move freely in the solution.
