Answer is 56 protons and 56 electrons.
<em>Explanation;</em>
Atomic number is equal to number of protons. Hence, when the atomic number is 56, it means that atom has 56 protons.
When the element is in neutral state, number of protons = number of electrons. Hence, we can say that barium atom has 56 electrons.
But same element can have different number of neutrons. Those are called isotopes. Hence, we cannot say that there are 56 neutrons in barium atom without having its mass number. (Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons)

Ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that refers to the bonding of <span>oppositely charged ions (anions and cations) because of attraction and the </span>transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. Cation is the metal that loses electrons and become a positively charged cation, and anions are
the nonmetal that accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged
anion.
According this explanation, an ionic bond is:
B. the force that holds the valence electrons to the atom
