BaSO₄ is relatively harmless, but BaS is highly toxic.

BaSO₄ is quite insoluble (240 µg/100 mL). It is a <em>mild irritant</em> in cases of skin contact and inhalation. However, it is <em>safe enough</em> that health professionals ask patients to drink a suspension of BaSO₄. The Ba is opaque to X-rays, so it makes the stomach and intestines more visible to radiographers.

BaS is soluble (7.7 g/100 mL). It reacts slowly with water and more rapidly in the acid conditions of the stomach to <em>release H₂S</em>.

BaS + 2HCl ⟶ BaCl₂ + H₂S

An H₂S concentration of 60 mg/100 mL can be <em>fatal within 30 min</em>.

<em>Don’t eat barium sulfide!</em>

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons could an isotope of this atom contain?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The atomic number on the Periodic Table identifies the number of protons in any atom of that element. Copper, atomic number 29, has 29 protons. Finding the atomic number of an element reveals the number of protons.

To find the number of neutrons in the atom, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
