What Is Barium Nitrate?

Barium Nitrate is a white salt. Its chemical formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Barium Nitrate is made of barium ions (Ba²⁺) and nitrate ions (NO₃⁻). It is an ionic compound and a type of salt (chemistry).

Barium nitrate is used for many things. It is in pyrotechnics, fireworks, and as an oxidizer.

What Does Conductivity Mean?

Conductivity means how well something can let electricity flow. Electrical conductivity needs charge carriers that can move.

• In metals, the electrons move.
• In ionic compounds (like barium nitrate), the ions move.

Mobile charge carriers are very important. In solids, sometimes ions cannot move. In liquids or solutions, they can move better.

Let’s look at barium nitrate conductivity in different forms.

Conductivity of Barium Nitrate: The Quick Answer

• Solid barium nitrate is an insulator. It is a poor conductor.
• Molten barium nitrate and aqueous barium nitrate solution are conductors. They are good at carrying electricity.

---

Why is Solid Barium Nitrate Not Conductive?

Crystal Lattice

In the solid state, barium nitrate has a crystal lattice. This means each ion is fixed in one place.

Ba(NO₃)₂ (solid)
[Ba²⁺][NO₃⁻][Ba²⁺][NO₃⁻]

No Mobile Ions

• Ba²⁺ ions and NO₃⁻ ions do not move in the solid.
• There are no free electrons like in metals.
• So, electricity cannot flow.

Insulator

• Solid barium nitrate is an insulator.
• Electrical conductivity is very low, less than 10⁻¹⁰ S/m.
• It does not let current pass.

Problem: You need a material that can conduct electricity, but the solid barium nitrate does not. You want a better way to use your materials!

When Is Barium Nitrate Conductive? Molten and Aqueous States

How does barium nitrate become conductive?

It happens in two ways:

1. When it is molten (melted).
2. When it is dissolved in water (aqueous solution).

Molten Barium Nitrate

• When you heat barium nitrate above 592°C, it melts.
• The crystal lattice breaks.
• Ba²⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions can move freely in the liquid.

How does this help?

• The moving ions are charge carriers.
• They let current flow and conduct electricity.
• Molten barium nitrate is a conductor.

Aqueous Barium Nitrate Solution

• When you dissolve barium nitrate in water, it dissociates.
• It splits into Ba²⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions.
• Water molecules surround these ions (hydration).

How does this help?

• Ions move in the solution.
• This movement lets current pass.
• Aqueous barium nitrate is a conductor.
• It is a strong electrolyte because it dissociates completely.

How Does Conductivity Work in Ionic Compounds Like Barium Nitrate?

Ionic Compounds

• Barium nitrate is an ionic compound.
• It is made by ionic bonds (electrostatic forces).
• It has cations (Ba²⁺) and anions (NO₃⁻).

When Do Ionic Compounds Conduct?

• Solid: Ions are fixed. It is an insulator.
• Molten or Aqueous: Ions are mobile. It is a conductor.

The Problem: Choosing the Right Barium Nitrate

Problem:
You may need barium nitrate for pyrotechnics, industrial uses, or experiments. But different uses need it in different forms.

• Do you need barium nitrate to conduct electricity?
• Do you know when it will be an insulator or a conductor?
• Are you sure your supplier knows what makes barium nitrate right for your needs?

Agitate:
Choosing the wrong type of barium nitrate could cause problems. If you use solid Ba(NO₃)₂ and expect electrical conductivity, your process may fail. Low quality, not knowing the right form, or slow customization hurts your work. Many companies do not help you understand what makes a good product—and why.

How Do Ions Conduct?

In molten and aqueous states, Ba²⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions are free to move.
This ionic mobility lets current flow.

• Barium ion conductivity: Ba²⁺ goes to the negative side (cathode).
• Nitrate ion conductivity: NO₃⁻ goes to the positive side (anode).

Movement of ions = flow of charge = electrical current

---

What Makes a Substance Conductive?

• Mobile charge carriers (free electrons or free ions)
• Solids: Met als like copper conduct with free electrons.
• Ionic compounds: Conduct only when ions are mobile (molten/solution).
• Covalent compounds do NOT conduct (like sugar).
• Semiconductors conduct a little (like silicon).
• Insulators do not conduct at all (like rubber, or solid Ba(NO₃)₂).
