~Monday: This week I have a lot to do. I have to go to Mr.Langils ceramics class, go to the lab, help out the Michelin Man Make, and go to the police station. I do not know why they called me to the police station! Hope I'm not in trouble. Today though and I have to bond with Oxyegen to make Barium Oxide! ~Tuesday: Mr Langil needed me to help him keep his students ceramics pieces together. I was the only thing they need to keep the darn things from falling apart! ~Wednesday: I went to see the Michelin man cause they were making tires. The guy is all over the place with out me. Hes so DISORGANIZED! ~Thursday: I was asked to go to the police station. I was so nervous walking in. i thought I was in trouble for making the flares and fire works and shooting them off! All they wanted though was my help making road flares! I was so relived I wasn't in trouble. Hopefully they wont find out I was setting off the fireworks! ~Friday: Me and some of the other chemicals went to use some of the flares the officers gave to us. We had loads of fun. ~Saturday: Me and some other elements got into a huge fight. Me and chloride got into a fight with sodium sulfate. Some one recorded it. It was not too bad. ~Sunday: The four of us all apologized to each other and everything was okay. Hope we don't fight again

A common compound of barium is Barium sulfate (BaSO4), which can also be combined with zinc oxide (ZnO) to make a white pigment known as lithophone or with sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) to make another white pigment known as blanc fixe. Stones made from impure barium sulfate glow when exposed to light and will glow in the dark for up to six years if intensely heated in the presence of charcoal.
