Barium chlorate	Ba(ClO3)2	Barium chlorate is a white crystalline solid, the barium salt of chloric acid. It is an irritant and toxic, as are all soluble barium compounds. It is sometimes used in pyrotechnics to produce a green color. It also finds use in the production of chloric acid. Barium chlorate, when burned with fuel, produces a vibrant green light. Because it is an oxidizer, a chlorine donor, and contains a metal, this compound produces a green color that is unparalleled. However, due to the instability of all chlorates to sulfur, acids, and ammonium ions, chlorates have been banned from use in class C fireworks in the United States. Therefore, more and more firework producers have begun to use more stable compounds such as barium nitrate and barium carbonate.

Barium fluoride	BaF2	Barium fluoride is an inorganic compound. It is a colorless solid that occurs in Nature as the rare mineral frankdicksonite. Under standard conditions, it adopts the fluorite structure and, at high pressure, the PbCl2 structure. Like CaF2, it is resilient to and insoluble in water. Above ca. 500 °C, BaF2 is corroded by moisture, but in dry environments, it can be used up to 800 °C. Prolonged exposure to moisture degrades transmission in the vacuum UV range. It is less resistant to water than calcium fluoride, but it is the most resistant of all the optical fluorides to high-energy radiation, though its far-ultraviolet transmittance is lower than that of the other fluorides. It is quite hard, very sensitive to thermal shock, and fractures quite easily.

Barium hydroxide is used in analytical chemistry for the titration of weak acids, particularly organic acids. Its clear aqueous solution is guaranteed to be free of carbonate, unlike those of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, as barium carbonate is insoluble in water. This allows the use of indicators such as phenolphthalein or thymolphthalein (with alkaline color changes) without the risk of titration errors due to the presence of carbonate ions, which are much less basic.
Barium iodide	BaI2	Barium iodide is inorganic. The compound exists as an anhydrous and a hydrate (BaI2(H2O)2), both of which are white solids. When heated, hydrated barium iodide converts to an anhydrous salt. The hydrated form is freely soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone.

It is prepared by heating barium carbonate with coke, carbon black, or tar or by thermal decomposition of barium nitrate.
Barium permanganate	Ba(MnO4)2	Barium permanganate is a chemical compound. Barium permanganate may be produced by disproportionation of barium manganate in a mildly acidic solution or by oxidation of barium manganate with strong oxidants. Preparations relying on aqueous reactions of barium manganate are an extremely slow process due to the low solubility of the manganate.
Barium peroxide	BaO2	Barium peroxide is an inorganic compound. This white solid (gray when impure) is one of the most common inorganic peroxides, and it was the first peroxide compound discovered. Being an oxidizer and giving a vivid green color upon ignition (as do all barium compounds), it finds some use in fireworks; historically, it was also used as a precursor for hydrogen peroxide.
Barium sulfate	BaSO4	Barium sulfate (or sulfate) is an inorganic compound. It is a white crystalline solid that is odorless and insoluble in water. It occurs as the mineral barite, which is the main commercial source of barium and materials prepared from it. The opaque white appearance and its high density are exploited in its main applications.
